Reactive Dog Club is where pet parents can meet up and practice positive reinforcement training with like-minded individuals while under the guidance of a professional dog trainer. Every participant gets 30 minutes of 1-on-1 time with a trainer and individualized advice. Think of it as a mini private lesson, but in a group class environment.
The goal of this service is to keep your dog under threshold & gradually decrease the distance from triggers. Our trainers work with you on whatever your goal is — whether it’s helping your excitable buddy chill out around others or your fearful friend learn that the world isn’t such a scary place.
We primarily cater to leash-reactive dogs, but you’re welcome even if you’re just here to practice your basic leash manners.
