Group Training
Zen Dog Program
Do you have a dog with BIG FEELINGS about other dogs and struggle with the lunging and barking at other dogs on walks?
The Zen Dog Program is designed to help you and your reactive dog learn to stay calm and build a better response to other dogs in a controlled setting.
Dealing with dog & leash reactivity isn't easy!
Even if you have some strategies to deal with reactive behaviour, it can be very hard to practice those out on your walks. Dogs sometimes just pop up out of nowhere, other people don't realize your dog can't handle certain encounters or you can’t get the distance you need. Or your dog seems to be in a good state to handle some practice and then you just don’t encounter any dogs on your walk at all.
Zen Dog practice program helps you make progress in a safe, guided and controlled way!
