Reactive Rover is a 7-week Behavior Modification Class is specifically designed for aggressive dogs that react negatively to other dogs and/or people. Behaviors include growling, showing teeth, barking, lunging, shaking, biting, intent to harm etc. We focus on helping the dog learn coping skills, building confidence and giving the owner tools to read their dog to help them through scary things. In this class we will show you how to change your dog’s reactive behavior. You will learn to lower stress (in both you and your dog), build calmness and attention, train alternate behaviors to reactivity and/or over arousal, reinforce the absence of reactivity, and most importantly build your dog’s confidence and trust in you providing a safe emotional state which will facilitate behavior change. You will learn to better read your dog and to help your dog learn to make better choices in stressful situations. You will gain confidence in handling your dog in various situations & environments.
