The most common problem we address through private training is dogs who have become “reactive” – usually to other dogs, but sometimes towards people as well.
A reactive dog is one who kind of “loses it” when he sees the thing that triggers him. He might start whining or barking, lunging towards the other dog, growling, or otherwise having a fit! This is stressful for EVERYONE involved!
This behavior typically cannot be addressed in a class setting, and we know not everyone is able to invest in private training. So we put together the Understanding Reactive Dogs Workshop so we can help you understand this problem behavior and teach you how best to prevent or address it.
Topics covered in this workshop include:
- Why dogs become reactive.
- How to talk about it with other people. (We know; it’s embarrassing!)
- How to judge what your dog can and cannot handle.
- What to do when she is barking and lunging.
- How to tell a reaction is coming before your dog explodes.
- What to do when off-leash dogs run up to you.
- Stress-free ways to exercise your dog’s body and mind.
Although it may FEEL like you’re the only one with a dog this crazy, you are definitely not. It is SO common, and we dog trainers have well-practiced and effective techniques for addressing it. We want to help you and your dog get relief from the stress of reactivity!

Walking calmly and politely on leash (aka: NOT pulling) is one of the most common skills pet parents want their dogs to learn. Unfortunately, it can also be one of the most difficult, especially for an exuberant young dog. This ISN’T because your dog is trying to defy or disrespect you, and it isn’t because he is stubborn… it’s simply because walking at a human’s pace on a loose leash is very, very hard!
Guided by one of our expert, certified trainers, you’ll learn various training techniques that will help your spirited friend learn to control himself, even when there are distractions, and especially when there’s something he wants, so that he can be a welcomed participant in all areas of your life.
