Understanding Reactivity in Dogs Seminar

Service Description

You really are not alone. Dog reactivity is a common challenge, and due to various factors is on the increase. That said, it doesn't have to define your walks. Your dog isn't giving you a hard time; they are having a hard time. Our 'Understanding Reactivity in Dogs' Seminar is a dog free seminar aimed at pet parents who want to learn the motivations behind their dog's behaviour and practical ways to manage it using science-backed, positive reinforcement methods. An ideal chance to get to really comprehend what and why your dog acts the way it does without having to watch your dog, worry about other dogs in the class and have your anxiety levels hit the roof. Learn in a relaxed atmosphere with other reactive dog owners and build your own metaphorical toolbox to help you and your dog. What You'll Learn: The "Why": Understand the root causes of reactivity (fear, frustration, over-arousal). Body Language Basics: Learn to recognise subtle stress signals before an outburst occurs (nose-licking, yawning, blinking, tense posture). Practical Strategies: Discover effective games and protocols like counter-conditioning and desensitisation to build your dog's confidence. Trigger Management: Learn the importance of distance and managing the environment to keep your dog below their "threshold".​
