Reactive Dog Classes

Sensitive dogs sometimes need additional support…….

Reactive / Aggressive / Challenging…..these are common terms used to describe dogs that are sensitive to things in their environment. This could be other dogs, people or movement. These are not ‘bad’ dogs, but it can be difficult to help them navigate through a world where there are inevitably going to be other dogs and people around.

We have developed a specialist programme to help you. A 4 week practical course (with options to continue after the initial 4 week block) suitable for:

  • Dogs that are sensitive / reactive to other dogs
