Reactive Dog Class
Is your dog easily distracted? Goes crazy when he sees another dog on the sidewalk?
Reactive or easily aroused? Is he anxious, stressed or does he shut down?
Unable to control his impulses when excited?
Unable to be quiet and relaxed in a class, at home or outside your home?
Uncomfortable or unable to listen to you when he’s around other dogs?
We work on teaching our dogs to feel calm and comfortable in a different environment, feel comfortable and calm with other dogs around them. We work on impulse control and focused attention on us. This is a great class for dogs that are easily distracted and dogs that need to improve their “listening” skills!
Level One - In the Level One Class we build our dogs to have this good base, good confidence, creating a great bond with them and proofing them so that they are able to pay attention to us – Even when there are distractions going on around them.
Level Two - In the Level Two class we use these skills that we have learned and start to apply them to much harder distractions... Dogs walking past us, new dogs (oh yes, the quickly get used to the dogs in class, but when a new dog comes in – hold on!!).... It’s a really great progression from the Level One...
Level Three - This is for dogs that have completed Levels One and Two (some dogs take Level's One and Two multiple times - Different classes mean different dogs and different energy...). In the Level Three Class we take what we have learned and apply it to real life - OutSIDE life... Yes, we take multiple field trips in our Level Three Class. This is for the best-of-the-best. I *highly* recommend this class for ALL owners that want to take their dog with them outside, walks, camping, hiking, festivals.... I think every owner-dog team will benefit from this class!
Dogs from 6 months to adult, copy of vaccination records. Class meets once a week for 6 weeks and is approx. 45 minutes.
