About the event
Dog Reactivity Course
An eight-week specialist course for dogs who express their emotions through barking, lunging and other outwardly reactive behaviours.
Living with a reactive dog can be stressful and frustrating. Understanding why your dog is reacting is an important part of knowing how to help them.
Many people assume, “My dog is protecting me,” but there can be much more going on. Reactivity can be driven by fear, frustration, anxiety, arousal, previous experiences, genetics, learned behaviour and many other factors.
This course will help you understand why reactivity happens, how to recognise what your dog is communicating, and how to manage and change the behaviour.
