Reactive Classes

L.I.F.E. Class for Reactive Dogs

Are you embarrassed to walk your dog because of lunging, barking, pulling or general outbursts around other dogs or people? Then L.I.F.E Class can help. Whether your dog is fearful, frustrated, or overaroused, learn skills to cope and change your dog’s behaviour around the things that make him lose his mind.

L.I.F.E stands for “Learning In a Functional Environment”, which is just what your dog needs to start to manage his emotions.  By fixing the underlying cause of the reactivity, we do more than just stop the reaction- we change the way your dog thinks and feels around other dogs and people. This leads to stronger behaviour changes with longer lasting results.

  • This 9 week class is kept small to ensure ample instructor-student time and includes a  2 hour seminar on dog communication.
