Get your dog's reactivity under control with our 5 session reactivity training program from Seventh Heaven Pet Care Together, we'll learn the basics of reactivity and effective ways to manage your dog's reactive behavior. The course is structured so that the first two sessions will take place at your home where we will learn basic skills and work with a decoy dog. On the third session, we will meet at the Animal Behavior Wellness Center and work with my dogs. We may need additional centers at the Animal Behavior Wellness Center depending on the level of Reactivity, but once you are feeling more comfortable with being able to manage your dog, you are ready for Group Reactivity, where you can practice with your dog and different dogs in a controlled, safe environment!

Foundations of Reactivity will provide you with the skills that you need to get a handle on Leash Reactivity, Reactivity to New People, and Fear Reactivity. It will also give you the tools that you and your dog need to  participate in Group Reactivity Classes. Since we are at the Animal Behavior Wellness Center, we can also work on addressing any issues related to fear or anxiety in a veterinary setting. We use positive reinforcement methods only. No aversives like prong collars, choke collars, or E-collars.  Your dog will learn to make better decisions and you will learn how to be an advocate for your dog by learning to guide your dog and read her cues.  In Group Reactivity, you will get practice in a controlled environment so that your dog can be more confident in the world!

During this one and a half hour session: *We will discuss your dog's history and place in the family. We will also discuss the Training Team and environmental challenges and benefits. *We will document any bite history, medication interventions, previous training experiences and more. *I will evaluate the dog through observation of his behavior and your interactions with him. *We will create a communication plan to make sure everyone is on the same page. This will include your file share space on the website for videos and messages for the whole group to share. *We will discuss your goals and compare those to the prognosis. *After getting buy in, we will create an initial Management Plan. This plan will surely change overtime and will be the Least Restrictive, Minimally Invasive, but will err on the side of caution. *We will go over basic concepts related to the behavior modification plan and you will have time to ask questions. If we are working with an especially fearful dog, it may be best to conduct the initial consultation virtually so that the dog is not stressed for this longer session by having a stranger in the house. We will make this call before the session. All Seventh Heaven Training Classes include the following: * You will have access to an online folder where you can upload video or download video, your handbook and bonus training protocols will be loaded onto your site. * You can ask questions in a chat with me and your training team. * You will have access to videos to go along with most of the lessons. * At our first session you will be provided a printed handbook, clickers for your family and a foot target.
