Our 6-week Reactive Dog program will help you both handle these challenges better. You’ll learn practical ways to keep your dog calm in stressful situations while building your bond!

With just 2 dogs in class, you’ll get lots of 1:1 attention. We use visual barriers, separate entrances and plenty of space so everyone stays safe and comfortable while learning.

We’ll teach you to understand your dogs’ body language better and spot stress signs early. Using positive, reward-based methods, we’ll build your dog’s confidence step by step. Starting with easy situations, we’ll gradually work up to tougher ones. You will also get practice exercises and support between classes.

This course works best for dogs who get over-excited or nervous but aren’t aggressive in nature. If your dog has bitten someone, another animal or shows serious aggression, please email us at dogstudio@ahobf.ca so we can see if a group class is appropriate.

• What sets your dog off and how to work at a distance they’re comfortable with
