Reactive Dog

Does your dog bark, growl and lunge at other dogs
on walks? Pull or chase bikes or runners? If your dog is struggling with
aggression and/or reactivity, this is the class for you.

your dog’s stress, and in turn strengthen the trust and relationship with your
dog so you can walk with confidence and enjoy the time with your dog!
