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.

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. The Foundation Course focuses on teaching our dogs how to be calm and settle around their trigger. You can book this dog behaviourist support in Hereford, Warwickshire, Gloucestershire, Worcestershire, and the Cotswolds.

Each week you will be emailed 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 classes to ensure you reach your goal of a calm and relaxed dog.
