Reactive Dog

REACTIVE DOG CLASS: Presented by Jessica Drew*, a Certified Professional Dog Trainer (CPDT-KA)

Which dogs should take this class: If your dog overreacts by growling, barking, and/or pulling towards other dogs, strange people, cars, bikes, or wildlife while on leash, behind a fence or at your windows, Reactive Dog class may be the perfect fit. This is a class designed to help you manage your dog’s behavior and help them cope more appropriately in an over-stimulating world. We provide a controlled environment to practice real world skills to change your dog’s emotional response.

Class Goal: To set parents up with management tools. This way they can navigate through life with a reactive dog with a toolbox of action plans. These tools can help them avoid a reaction, as well as how to get through one. For the dogs is to work on exposing them to triggers at a level they can handle while practicing behaviors we prefer.

*Instructor Jessica Drew: Jessica has been training for 3 years with an interest in reactive dogs. She developed the desire to work with these dogs when she found herself with a reactive dog of her own. Her best friend Loki, a 5 year old hound mix, opened her eyes to the amazing world of the human and dog relationship. Not only learning how to help her dog overcome his BIG emotions, but in the process building a bond she didn’t know was tangible. She aims to help people effectively communicate with their furry friends, while providing guidance on navigating the challenges of reactivity. She feels training is meant to feel fun and simple, so uses lots of techniques from Susan Garret and Leslie Mcdevitt.
