A Comprehensive Self-Study Course to Manage & Address Reactivity
Course Summary
Fearful and over reactive behaviour will not go away on its own. Your dog will not grow out of it. Left untreated, both the frequency and the intensity of the problems will increase. Reactivity is one of the hardest behaviours to deal with but have you ever wondered why that is? You may never have even thought about reactivity before you got your dog, but now when your dog starts reacting, you find yourself reacting too! You may get stressed at the very thought of going for a walk. Of course, it is not their fault. They are acting in response to an emotion - that might be fear, anxiety or frustration - and, when they react, that can make them feel better in the moment so they keep doing it. But we can teach them a better way. We can give them new ways to respond that also feel good and over time they can start to ignore what once caused a meltdown or maybe even enjoy meeting other dogs or new people. In order to make this shift, we need to create a more calm space for our dogs. They can't learn when they are stressed. This is why we've designed a custom program Reframing Reactivity. This program will give you all the support you need and we are with you every step of the way. In Reframing Reactivity you will develop the right skills to teach calm and accommodate your dog's reactivity. You'll learn easy and fun practical ways to keep your dog's focus when there are distractions, how to manage situations where things are less than ideal and how to bounce back when everything has gone belly up! You will have the confidence that you are doing the best thing for your dog.

Bianca Brown, CDBC, CPDT-KA
I first got into training to help my reactive dog live a more stress free life. Through working with behaviour modification I saw a huge need an affordable, accessible and thorough program to help people right from day one. Why wait for challenges to arise? Implement management and training strategies from day 1 to prevent common problems.
I am a Certified Dog Behaviour Consultant with the IAABC, Certified Professional Dog Trainer through the Certification Council for Professional Dog Trainers, a Fear Free Certified Trainer, a proud member of the Pet Professional Guild and Karen Pryor Academy Puppy Start Right instructor. I am dedicated to ongoing education and maintain professional memberships and attend science based training conferences to ensure my education stays current.
