The always popular Dog Reactivity Class
An information packed self study course on Dog Reactivity Behavior Modification
A learn at your own pace class. We dive deep into the techniques of handling reactive dogs, behavior modification, classical and operant conditioning, obedience skills, as well as decompression techniques for dogs AND people! Understanding body language, brain chemistry and all the technical science broken down into everyday language. Plus access to a private social FB group for feedback and support.
With your purchase you receive access to the website classroom for a year as well as being able to join a free private Facebook group where you can post videos for instructor feedback for the next 6 months, after the 6 months you retain access to the FB group for as long as FB exists.
In this content packed class you will learn not just the techniques of behavior modification to help reactive dogs, you will also get a deep dive into the psychology of dog reactivity for both people and dogs. This class is designed to help give you the tools needed to get you off and running facing your dog’s reactive states and to set you up with a clear road map of how to progress even long after the class has ended. This is a self paced class, where the content is available for you to progress at your own pace at times that are convenient for you, it comes with access to a private FB group where you are able to submit your own homework videos for feedback and coaching, coaching provided for 6 months. All training methods are done using classical conditioning and positive reinforcement, while it is not conditional that any one type of training collar is used, do know that I do not use e-collars or prong collars so if you use them you will not be given advice specific to their application and I won’t be able to answer questions about using them. I personally would not choose to use these tools in any of my training but leave that decision to you, just know I won’t be able to advise you so if you are looking for that I am not the trainer you are likely looking for. We go deeper into the reasons why I do not choose these tools while diving into the psychology of reactivity and look at how suppression differs from modification, so my positions are based on the science not on personal bias and as such I do not discourage anyone looking to learn more from joining even if they use tools I would not.
