Reactivity is an overreaction to external stimuli. A common display of reactivity is barking, growling and/or lunging. Dogs may be reactive to people, animals, other dogs, noises, movement, or any combination of the above. Essentially, it is a reaction to something that is upsetting to your dog. The goal of this course is to provide you the skills and training tools you need to help your dog cope better with stress on walks and make positive choices.

Hey Rover..Come Here

9/13-9/20 6:00-7:00 pm $35

River Falls Community Ed

Does your canine friend ignore you when you call him? Teaching your dog to come when he is called is the most important lesson you can impart to him. A dog that responds immediately and consistently when you call him can enjoy freedoms that other dogs cannot. And a fast recall can save your canine friend's life if he happens to run out the door or slip his collar. We will also use distractions so your dog learns that coming to you is the best thing he can do.
