  • REACTIVE ROVER CLASS

    with Dr. Sabine Hellge
  • Image-57
  • TUESDAYS 6:30-7:30pm STARTING 9/9 FOR 6 WEEKS

    **DO NOT BRING YOUR DOG TO FIRST CLASS ON 9/9**

     

    Who is eligible for this class?
    This class is for owners with dogs that react negatively towards other unfamiliar dogs. This negative reaction can be growl-lunging, excessive barking and / or snapping. It is suited for dogs that have never made contact with the other dog as well as for those who have a bite history. Dogs with aggression towards people can be eligible for class if they can be handled safely on the property and are expected to be able to function in a class environment. (case by case decision).  Continuing RR Students may also sign up. 

    Equipment:
    The owner must be willing to use a basket muzzle on their dog and strictly follow instructions. The dog will be handled on a flat collar / martingale, harness or in some cases a head-halter. Prong-collar or choke-chain will not be accepted in class.


    Training goal:
    The class teaches the owner to recognize the signs when the dog becomes uncomfortable with a situation and how and when to intervene accordingly using management and desensitization/counter conditioning. The dog will learn to become a team member with increased confidence and therefore will rely more on the guidance of his/her human partner. The goal is achieved using TTouch, controlled slow exposure to stimuli, with relationship & confidence building
    exercises.
