Dog Reactivity Training
At Train Your Dog, our dog reactivity training programme is designed to help dogs that overreact to stimuli such as other dogs, strangers, or sudden noises. Reactivity can manifest as barking, lunging, or excessive fear, making walks and social interactions challenging. Our experienced trainers work to desensitise your dog to these triggers, using positive reinforcement techniques to change their responses.
Our training aims to build your dog's confidence and calmness in various situations, allowing for more enjoyable walks and outings. Each training plan is personalised to the dog's triggers and reactivity level, ensuring progress over time.
