If you've worked with us on dog-directed reactivity in the past, Reactive Dog Club offers an opportunity to practice your skills and continue to make progress towards changing your dog's feelings and behavior. Taught by a trainer on our Behavior Team - the same ones who teach Reactive Dog 1, Charm School, and Behavior Solutions private lessons - Reactive Dog Club is available by invitation only to dogs and their people who already have a solid understanding of what reactivity is, how to manage it (including the "SMART Skills" for leash handling), and how to reduce it through Noticing and Reporting training. Classes will vary depending on the dogs present, and may include:
- Noticing / Reporting training sessions with live decoy dogs in varying setups
- Noticing / Reporting training sessions with wheeled objects
- Parallel or "pack" walking.
- Advanced Relaxation and mat work
- Continued coaching on leash handling and muzzle acclimation
- Obedience skills like stays and loose leash walking
- Useful Tricks for reactive dogs, such as quick turns, emergency downs, and position cues ("Get Behind Me," "Left Side," "Squish!")
- Time to share our stories, both of success and frustration.
