Reactive Dog Group Class (Improvers)

More Information

This is a group session, capped at 6 attendees, where reactive dog owners can practise their training around other people and dogs in a safe and controlled environment. If you haven't come to one of our classes before, please book the 'Beginners' classes, and we'll let you know when you can graduate to our 'Improvers' classes. We will start the class with a quick introduction, humans only, in the car park, before then leading you through to the field, one-by-one, for the session. These improver sessions are all about keeping your dog calm and confident in close proximity to other dogs and people. We'll explore some key exercises to get you walking with other dogs and people, then, when your dog is ready, we'll guide you through safely introducing your dog to others - giving you and them social freedom. The session will officially end after 45 minutes, allowing you and your dog to calmly return to the car. Water will be available, but please bring plenty of your own high-value treats, toys, and poo bags. You are also required to check your equipment for any weak parts or fraying ahead of time - spare equipment will be available should you need it. Dogs will need to have at least two points of attachment to you at all times (e.g. a two-point harness, or a harness and collar). Double-ended leads are therefore encouraged. We may allow you to use a long-line in class, but this will be at our discretion. We will also provide you with a wrist strap to wear and attach to your dog's lead, which prevents any accidents should someone drop their lead. Don't forget! You can save yourself money by purchasing our 4-session package, and get 4 sessions for the price of 3!
