Why Should You Attend?

Reactivity is a common challenge faced by many dog parents, especially in a highly populated city like Toronto. This limited time offer workshop equips you with the knowledge and tools you need to address your dog’s reactivity with positive reinforcement techniques. Consider attending this workshop if you want to learn any number of the following: 

1. Understanding Reactivity: Learn the underlying reasons behind your dog’s reactive behaviour towards other dogs, people, bicycles, squirrels, and anything that moves. 
2. Effective Management Techniques: Discover practical strategies to create a safe and supportive environment for your furry friend, helping to reduce the number of reactive episodes. 
3. Positive Behaviour Modification: Work on changing your dog’s response to triggers through positive reinforcement and rewarding techniques. 
4. Expert Guidance: Our Certified Animal Trainers have years of experience working with reactivity and will be available for a Q&A after the second session. 
5. Community Support: Connect with other dog parents facing similar challenges and build a supportive network to share experiences and triumphs. 

Please note that this workshop is designed for humans only, and while we adore dogs, they will not be attending the sessions. This decision is to create a focused and distraction-free learning experience for all human participants.
