Dog Classes

Want your dog to learn better manners? Wish your dog were more focused and confident? Do you dream of walking your dog calmly on leash around other dogs? We have a class for you!

Reactive Rover (Leash Aggression)

In this class, we will systematically counter condition your dog’s reaction to being around other dogs on leash. Turn your walks into the enjoyable experience you’ve always wanted them to be!

Two dogs on leash

Turn your walks into the pleasant experiences you've always dreamed of!

Reactive Rover 1: This class consists of two sessions: a 90 minute workshop without dogs and a half hour private session with dogs. In the first session, we use slides, video, and hands on foundation exercises to begin building the skills for use outside. The second session is a half hour private with Christine Hibbard where we’ll work outside using stimulus dogs. At the first session, everyone signs ups for a 1/2 hour time slot for the second session.

Reactive Rover 2: is a 5 session class and we work outside. Each session is a half hour semi private session where you work with an owner/dog team from your class. Each week we rotate through the teams so that each dog is exposed to as many different types of dogs as possible. We also begin increasing the number of owner dog teams in week 4 and 5. Each week we evaluate the owner/dog teams and send out an email with your half hour time slot.
