Reactive Rover Workshop Arroyo Grande


Does your leashed dog lunge, bark or go crazy at the sight of other dogs when out for a walk? These 2 45 minute workshops will focus on the dog's “reactive” behavior and equip you with new strategies to manage it. While frightening and unpleasant, this behavior more often indicates excitement or fear rather than aggression. Frequently, it can be “the other end of the leash”  that inadvertently reinforces the behavior. The workshops will help you anticipate a reactive burst, and teach you and your dog calm alternative responses in order to recondition the reactive response. Reinforcement of basic commands are also incorporated. Workshop is limited to 6 dogs per session. The cost is $90. Payment required at registration. No discounts applicable.


Location: Strother Park, Arroyo Grande
Class Time: 09:00:00
Class Date: 06/01/2024 to 06/15/2024
Class Info: Please bring a lot of high value treats for your dog. NO retractable leashes or choke chains allowed. We recommend any type of head harness/gentle leader. Pre registration is required. Cost is $90. Payment is required at time of registration. 48 hr. cancellation notice for full refund. Please contact Good Dogma if you have any questions.
