Insight to Reactive Rover - Group Class/Seminar


Seminar and Classes are held at the Red Deer K9 Training Center  (#4 7045 Edgar Industrial Link)

What is a reactive dog and why do we see reactive behaviors? What can cause reactivity and how do we help our dogs through this, safely? What are stress signs and how do we read them?

There are TWO options available to help you with your reactive dog:

OPTION 1: Human only Seminar ONLY (Date TBD) at the Red Deer K9 Training Center ($59). This 2hr human only seminar will break down the why and the how, to help you to work through your dog's reactivity to other dogs, people, skateboards.... any stimulus that causes your dog stress. It is an informative session with plenty of opportunities to share your personal experiences and ask questions.  You will receive a .pdf of the Powerpoint presentation with access to the videos and resources discussed during the seminar.

OPTION 2: Join us for the seminar on (Date TBD), then continue with your dog for group classes starting (Date TBD) for 5 consecutive weeks. ($235)  During class we will work on creating positive associations to your dog's triggers and being able to engage/disengage from them. We will build strong focus skills and learn how to redirect our dogs during emergency and stressful situations. Ultimately, helping your dog to be able to share space with other dogs/people, comfortably whether on leash or in your home.
