Leash Reactive Dog Private Training (all ages)
Leash Reactive Dog Private Training – Helping Your Dog Stay Calm on Walks
Does your dog bark, lunge, or overreact to other dogs, people, or moving objects on walks? Leash reactivity can make outings stressful, but with the right approach, your dog can learn to stay calm and focused. Our Leash Reactive Dog Private Training program is designed to change how your dog feels about their triggers—helping them develop new, positive associations for more peaceful walks.
Why Leash Reactivity Happens
Leash reactivity isn’t just bad behavior—it’s an emotional response. Whether it’s frustration, fear, or excitement, your dog reacts because they don’t know how to handle the situation differently. Instead of using outdated techniques to suppress reactions, we focus on changing your dog’s underlying emotions so they can stay relaxed and engaged with you.
