Living With and Training a Reactive Dog

Is your dog barking and lunging when you’re out on walks? Are you having trouble taking her anywhere, unsure of what will trigger her, not sure what to do when that happens? Does your dog have trouble welcoming visitors into your home, and yell at neighbors from your windows and through the fence in your yard? Take heart! You’re not alone!

Many dogs overreact at the sight of other dogs and people in their environments, and that leaves many of us without a plan of what to do. We’re stressed out, embarrassed, and even angry at our dogs, and often at our wits’ end with trying to change it! But rest assured, your dog is having a problem, not giving you one! They need your help.

In this presentation, I will help you understand what is going on with your dog and what you can do about it. We’ll address leash walking strategies, in-home reactivity towards guests and passers-by, and how to quiet that yard barking and fence charging. Living with a “reactive” dog often means adjusting your environment to support their new learning, and taking a look at what your dog is trying to say with all that bluster!

We will go over:

  • What reactivity is and what it isn’t, and what’s going on!
  • Picking the right environment in which to walk your dog, and why avoiding blowups isn’t avoiding the issue
  • How to choose equipment that helps you rather than worsens the problem
  • How to make your in-home environment supportive of learning new behaviors
  • What “predict and prevent” means, and how it helps you solve your problems
  • Why you manage first before you begin training, and how that does half the work for you
  • Recall parties, coloring books and magnet walking!

Living with a reactive dog isn’t always easy, but when we predict and prevent, change our environments to support new behaviors, and then take our initial steps toward changing those reactions, we can see real progress quickly. Come learn how to live with your dog, and to train her to be the well-adjusted dog you envisioned!
