Do you have a dog that is PEOPLE-FRIENDLY, but exhibits on-leash reactivity, such as barking and lunging, when he or she sees other dogs?  Does your dog become stressed, uncomfortable, or over-aroused in the presence of other dogs, and do you have a hard time keeping your dog calm and focused when other dogs are around?  This may be the class for you!

Reactive Rover classes will help you understand your dog’s reactivity, and will give you methods for managing and modifying it.  We solely use positive methods and work at each dog’s individual level, so that over time we can change the dog’s emotional response to his or her “triggers.”  Our goal is to help you teach your dog focus, impulse control, and relaxation, so that walks and outings can be more fun and less stressful for you both!

Dogs who do NOT fit into Reactive Rover Class:

• Dogs who have done major damage to another dog (such as hospitalizing another dog)
• Dogs who are aggressive towards people
• Dogs who bite their handlers when their handlers try to redirect them from focusing on another dog

For reactive dogs who do not fit into a Reactive Rover class, we would recommend consulting with an in-home trainer first.  Please feel free to contact us for recommendations at angela@harmonyk9.com and we can refer you to someone who can help.
