This pet training for aggressive dogs will focus on modifying our pet’s emotional response when seeing dogs out on a walk. We need our dogs to feel secure when they see a dog to decrease the need for reactive behaviours.

It is important that we look at the kind of relationship we build with our dogs, one based off of cooperation and support.

While working to modify dog reactivity it is important that we teach alternative behaviours your dog can turn to. This will help to break the habit of always turning to reactivity when seeing a trigger.

Focus on what our dog is doing well to create a more optimistic dog. Often reactive dogs are overwhelmed with pessimistic thoughts. Changing this mindset is empowering and is the key to building a strong relationship with your dog.

If we are unable to get our dog’s attention we are unable to help them. This course will also teach how to build your dog’s confidence in turning to you for help in the most challenging situations.

Your initial dog training consultation will be on Zoom and will be one-on-one. It will last up to one hour and will cover:

• Behaviour assessment to help us understand why your dog is behaving in that way.  
• I will teach you the core skills you will need for the course.
• You will then receive a summary of the consultation which will include what we discussed and act as a reference while we work together.
• A report will then be sent to your vet for continuity of communication and support.  

Following your initial consultation and induction you will then join the next course. This starts on the first Friday of each month at 7pm in Evesham.

You will be provided with the tasks you need to complete at home before the next session. You get remote support on our Facebook member’s group where you can post questions or videos of your training for feedback and guidance. It is a space where we can discuss the course content, and share pictures and videos of our progress and training for feedback and support. It is a friendly community that supports one another as supporting a reactive dog is challenging, and we are there to help one another. This is a great space to get continual support between our canine aggression training classes to ensure you reach your goal of a calm and relaxed dog.

You will be able to book your course start date once your initial consultation is complete. Courses start on the first Friday of each month. 

With the Dog Reactivity Course, you get 4 weeks of practical support in a training barn. Classes are limited to 4 people so I can give each person plenty of one-to-one support and tailor the course to you and your dog. Classes will work towards you walking calmly past other dogs, sitting patiently while other dogs are in the room, and allowing you to chat with the other owners without your dog reacting to the other dogs in the room.

This is not your typical obedience class. I am a behaviourist who specialises in dog reactivity and aggression. This course is designed specifically for reactive dogs to help build the skills needed for them to thrive in challenging situation.
