FINDING THE RIGHT HELP

Finding suitable classes for reactive dogs can be difficult; working with groups of reactive dogs is challenging and can be detrimental to the dogs’ learning and emotional states if not managed correctly.

CLASSES FOR REACTIVE DOGS SHOULD HAVE:

● Limited numbers.

● Ideally be outside in a large, private field.

● Have at least two instructors running the class.

● Have controls in place for entering and exiting the class.

● The content taught should cover both the practicalities of managing a reactive dog on a walk and helping the dogs’ and owners’ emotional states.
