REFRAMING REACTIVITY - ONLINE COURSE

Reactivity is one of the hardest behaviours to deal with but have you ever wondered why that is? You may never have even thought about reactivity before you got your dog, but now when your dog starts reacting, you find yourself reacting too! You may get stressed at the very thought of going for a walk 😩

Of course, it is not their fault. They are acting in response to an emotion - that might be fear, anxiety or frustration - and, when they react, that can make them feel better in the moment so they keep doing it.

But we can teach them a better way. We can give them new ways to respond that also feel good and over time they can start to ignore what once caused a meltdown or maybe even enjoy meeting other dogs or new people.

In order to make this shift, we need to create a more calm space for our dogs. They can't learn when they are stressed. This is why we've designed a custom program Reframing Reactivity. This program will give you all the support you need and we are with you every step of the way.

In Reframing Reactivity you will develop the right skills to teach calm and accommodate your dog's reactivity. You'll learn easy and fun practical ways to keep your dog's focus when there are distractions, how to manage situations where things are less than ideal and how to bounce back when everything has gone belly up! You will have the confidence that you are doing the best thing for your dog.

Do you need help to change your cat’s behaviour, or need to solve why they don’t use their litter tray, why they are scratching furniture or not getting on with other pets in the household?

SEPARATION RELATED BEHAVIOURS

Is your dog howling, barking excessively or destroying furniture or the yard when you are away? Anxiety, in any form, is difficult and can be heartbreaking for both you and your pet. It is not a reflection of your guardianship and may have numerous causes. The fact that you are seeking help tells us that you care and want things to change. We can help, we have a specially designed package and a protocol that will be modified for each individual situation.

Our separation distress packages start with a 75 min in home session to discuss your pet's behaviour, followed by online support.

Initial session: Approx. 75min, $300

This is followed by our online support packages: $250/week.

Support packages can include a combination of Zoom sessions, video review, tracking and plan adjustment. These may be daily or weekly depending on the degree of support your require.

A 3-4 week minimum training commitment is required.

Every dog and situation is different, so your training package will be tailored to your individual needs.
