Reactive Dog Workshop

September 16 & 17, 2018

​

Registration will open to the public July 16, 2018.

Please check back for a registration link at that time.

​

The Reactive Dog Workshop is a 4-5-hour workshop whose sole purpose is to teach the Click to Calm methodology in one session so that the owners of overly stimulated dogs can start practicing the methodology with their dogs in previously challenging environments.

 

The solution is threefold: first, to teach the dog a reliable default behavior, second, to teach the dog that the presence of the stimulus (“object of interest”) is the cue to look at them, and third, to insert an alternate or incompatible behavior. In this way, the handler does not have to distract the dog, nor keep the dog “busy” when faced with these risky situations.

​

Foundation behaviors and emergency protocols will also be discussed.

Because of the small size, individual attention is given to each working dog team.  

​

This is a 1-day clinic with 5-7 working spots ($265) and up to 20 auditors ($100). It is the same clinic given on two different days to offer more teams a chance to work with Emma.
