Calming the Chaos: Supporting Your Dog Through Reactivity

Living with a reactive dog can feel overwhelming—but you’re not alone, and there is a path forward. This seminar is designed to help dog parents understand reactivity, identify root causes, and implement positive strategies for long-term improvement. Whether your dog barks at strangers or struggles with overstimulation, this seminar will give you the tools to build calm, focused behavior and a stronger bond.

Seminar Highlights:
- Understanding Reactivity: Learn what reactivity is (and isn’t), why it happens, and how to spot early signs before things escalate.
- Management vs. Training: Discover how to balance safety and progress by using effective short-term management techniques alongside long-term behavior modification.
- Tools for Calm and Control: Explore confidence-building games, leash handling skills, and enrichment strategies to reduce stress and increase focus.

This class is designed for people only; we kindly ask that you leave your dogs at home.

*Registration for this seminar is $25.
