Reactive Remedy classes – Levels 1 & 2

Reactive Remedy

These 6-week classes focus on creating a dog who can see other dogs on walks and not overly-react.

Having a leash reactive dog is stressful for the human, and the dog. You may often experience a sense of dread and tension on walks, anticipating the moments where you and your dog may come across another dog. When your dog explodes, you may feel embarrassed, ashamed or judged because of your dog’s behavior. You may also feel alone in your struggles.

The small class size ensures that you and your dog’s specific challenges are addressed.

These classes are taught by business owner and professional dog trainer, Julie Sharp, a certified behavior consultant with over 15 years of working with reactive dogs.

When you call your dog, do they think coming to you is optional or do they ignore you altogether?

A reliable recall is one of the most important skills your dog can learn.

We use positive-reinforcement training to teach your dog to come promptly—whether at home, in the park, or among distractions. Our fear-free methods ensure your dog happily responds to your call, turning recall into a game that builds trust and confidence.
