Reactivity and Anxiety Training Course for dogs
Got an adrenaline junkie who can’t greet calmly, never settles, and always needs to be busy?
Because calm is something you need to teach
Calm behaviour doesn’t just happen, it's something you create through the way you live and interact with your dog. If your dog doesn’t understand the word calm, we have to start from the very basics, chances are, they simply don’t know what you’re asking for. This course helps you lay those foundations early, reinforcing calm habits and routines that grow with your dog.
Sound familiar?
This course is for you if your dog is:
- Can’t settle or is constantly “on”
- Reacts to sounds, people, dogs or movement
- Struggles to focus or calm down during training
- Paces, barks, or whines at home
- Has tried other training without long-term results
- Gets over-excited, over-aroused or is always “busy”
- Seems uncomfortable, tense or easily triggered
