🐾 K9 Fear, Anxiety, and Reactivity Workshop - 6-Week Support & Skills Program. *Does your dog struggle with fear, anxiety, or reactive behaviour? Do they bark, lunge, tremble, or shut down in certain situations? Whether you're living with a reactive rescue or a sensitive soul, this course is here to help you build trust, confidence, and calm - together.
Our K9 Fear, Anxiety, and Reactivity Program is a 6-week educational and hands-on course designed to help guardians understand and support dogs who experience emotional overwhelm. This course combines science-backed theory with compassionate, practical techniques to reduce stress and reactivity in everyday life.
🔍 Fear, Anxiety & Reactivity - What's Really Going On?
Fear, anxiety, and reactivity are often grouped together, but they’re not the same, and understanding the difference is critical. One of the goals of this program is to help you identify your dog’s emotional baseline: Are they primarily fearful, anxious, reactive, or experiencing a combination?
If your dog falls into more than one category, they’ll likely require a deeper understanding of training, behaviour patterns, and canine psychology to make lasting progress. This course provides the framework and tools to help you recognize where your dog is coming from emotionally—so you can meet them there and move forward.
🧠 What You’ll Learn:
Throughout the program, you’ll gain insight into:
- Understanding the canine stress system and fight/flight/freeze responses
- The differences between fear, anxiety, and reactivity
- Stress stacking and how it contributes to outbursts
- Canine body language and early signs of discomfort
- The Canine Ladder of Aggression and how to intervene early
- Impulse control aggression and emotional flooding
- How to use systematic desensitisation and counterconditioning safely and effectively
- Short-term and long-term strategies to create lasting behaviour change
