Reactive Tails
Transform Reactivity into Calm!
Our 5-week dog-to-dog Reactivity Programme is a comprehensive training and behavioral plan designed to address your dog’s reactivity towards other dogs. Over four weeks, you’ll participate in weekly online group sessions and in-person training to tackle this challenge step by step, then on week 5, we’ll go out on a public dog walk to see how you can put all your skills into practice.
We’ll explore the causes and triggers of your dog’s reactivity, teach you how to help them cope in the future, and guide you in reshaping their responses to stressful situations. Along the way, we’ll focus on practical management strategies to support you while we address the root of the behaviour.
Punishing emotional displays may suppress the behaviour temporarily, but it doesn’t address the underlying emotions driving it. This course is designed to target and transform those core struggles, helping your dog feel calmer and more confident.
We do offer payment plans for this course, let us know if you would like to discuss this. This course has a £50 deposit.
Remember your dog is not giving you a hard time, they’re having a hard time!
