​

We use counterconditioning and desensitization to change not just the reactive behavior, but also the underlying emotional response that creates it. We use an entirely force-free approach using no aversive tools or techniques. 

​

In class you have the opportunity to work with other dogs in a safe setting with professionals to guide you through. We want to help you better understand what is going  on with your dog and give you the tools to work with it. You will know what to do in certain situations and learn how to better manage this behavior.​

​

Once you sign up for class, we will send you a packet of information about leash reactivity.  This information covers what we’ll go over in our first Zoom session.  The second Zoom session will address all of the logistics of the in-person classes for the following weeks.  Once we begin the in-person sessions, we will work with you to learn how to watch your dog’s body language, identify their triggers, learn what their threshold distance is, and learn how to use counter conditioning and desensitization to work with them.
