Living with a dog that displays reactivity and aggression towards other dogs or people can be challenging, confusing and worrying.

If you struggle with a dog and feel lost and unsure how you can move forward, or perhaps you are interested in learning more about dog behaviour then join us on this intensive course with theory and practical training and understand what can drive these behaviours and lead to displays of aggression or indeed true aggression. 

Learn how you can work towards changing how your dog feels and responds in these situations and the systems and training you can put in place to achieve more calmness.

Whether you have a dog that is reactive towards other dogs, people or any other triggers, the principals of modifying their behaviour are the same and we can teach you those methods

What do we do differently and why?.
​We aim to build your confidence as much as your dog's through a tried and tested system of learning that ensures you can read your dogs body language, provide solutions that make you both feel safer with practical applications to daily scenarios.
All dogs attending will be assessed by our behaviourist and appropriate advice given.
​The group as a whole will benefit from watching these assessments
