This course is particularly suited to lead reactive dogs, our aim is to help change your dog’s reaction towards those overwhelming situations and triggers when out and about on walks.
During this course we will provide support to owners and show you how to teach them alternate behaviour to barking, lunging, etc. all using reward based, positive reinforcement techniques.
This course is not about finding a ‘Eureka’ moment or ‘fixing’ a reactive dog, but rather it’s about giving you as a dog owner a set of tools that you can use to better handle and manage your dog.
We train you the owners who will then implement the training with your dog during and after the course duration.
It is a requirement of this course for dogs to be muzzled and wear a training harness or any other equipment recommended by your trainer.
Please note Week 1 is a seminar held via ZOOM, then week 2, 3 & 4 are held onsite the DSPCA in Rathfarnham with your dog.
Because of the nature of this course, places are very limited, so early booking is advisable to avoid disappointment.
