The Behaviour Management Course For Reactive Dogs

Reactive dogs are triggered by stimuli in the indoor and outdoor environment (it could be noise, other dogs, people, fast moving objects, etc.) and have an emotional response to it. The response can be driven by many factors, but the most common are fear or frustration. Since these dogs are usually leashed and don’t have the option of retreating, they tend to explode in self-defence. Others are just over-excited and frustrated because they really want to go and say "hi" to the dog or person passing by, but can't because they are restrained. Those emotional explosions present itself in the form of whining, barking, growling or lunging and this may come across as aggression to others. These dogs are not mean, they are usually petrified or over-aroused. They still deserve to be exercised and explore the outside world in a controlled manner, and in many cases, this is a major part of their rehabilitation!

This 6-week practical, results-driven course contains proven step-by-step recipes that will give you the tools to effectively manage your dog's behaviour and environment in order to prevent these outbursts from occurring regularly, and to systematically desensitise your dog to his triggers, so he can make better choices when exposed to it.
