Fundamentals of Reactivity

Level One -
Fundamentals of Reactivity Online Class

Our Level One Fundamentals class is a four week long online Zoom class.

These are live Zoom session, not pre-recorded.

How do we do a reactive class online, you ask?

Well, we have been doing reactive classes for many years and found that without the

proper knowledge of what this behavior is, and how to manage it, in-person classes alone don't work.

Most people have no idea what drives this behavior and what to do about it.

You will learn everything there is to know about this behavior. You will learn how to read your dog's body language,

how to manage yours and his reactions, how to cope in different scenarios,

and what you can do to change your dog's emotions towards what ever he is reactive to.

This class will also help prepare you for our next level two Essential Reactive Dog class.

See what people are saying below!

What People Are Saying...

"My fiancée and I signed our dog Millie up for the reactive dog class. Before the class, we could barely walk down the street without her trying to lunge or bark at another dog. After the first class, we instantly noticed a difference in her demeanor towards other dogs. By the end of the course, Millie was capable of walking within a few inches of the neutral dog Corbit without reacting. Beth has been a wonderful trainer and we look forward to signing up for additional classes. We highly recommend the reactive dog course to anyone who might be considering, as it has been an invaluable experience for both us and our dog, and we can't thank Beth enough for the work that she has done!"
