![]() ![]() ![]() Although Walter is still a pup, it was a night and day difference after doing the 2 week board and train program. ![]() We also had issues with counter surfing and mouthing. Walter did well to some commands but had trouble with his reactivity to other animals, people, basically anything that moved in front of him. KC Dawgz was the best investment we could have made for our rescue pup, Walter! Rescuing a dog comes with the unknown of what they endured prior to a life with you (their new owners). They take a balanced approach and always have the dogs best interests in mind. We can't praise Maureen enough - we adore her! Anyone looking for dog training should come here. We get so many compliments on our dogs behavior! We had tried 4 or 5 different trainers and methods with our reactive dog and nothing helped - after just 3 lessons she is already unbelievably better. She is so great with both of our dogs and they have both improved by leaps and bounds since we started training with her. We are doing private lessons with Maureen and we love her. We liked it so much we signed up for private lessons after the class ended with both our puppy and our adult dog with reactivity issues. It's a great puppy class - really well structured to build on basic obedience. Our puppy learned so much and got to experience so many new and different activities. We brought our German Shepherd puppy to puppy class there - that class was led by Mike, and it was amazing. This entry was posted in Reactivity by Cindy. We also offer Behaviour Modification Packages. There are many dogs currently in the walks and classes that started out with me as reactive dog clients.Ĭontact Cindy to register for private consultation. The other is my Focus Fitness and Fun class, that is inside, limited to 4 dogs, and keeps them busy learning about food puzzles, conditioning equipment, new cues and every week a different on leash agility course. We need distance so the dog can learn to be calm and be rewarded, and not worried about what is going on around him.Īs I work through private sessions with these dogs and start to see progress, when they are ready, and only when I am confident they are able to handle it, I will move them up to my Team Walks (every 2nd Sunday in Peterborough) and Fun classes, one is my FUN DOG class that is fun agility, all done on leash outside. These dogs need to have LOTS of space so we can start to work on desensitizing them to their triggers, which are the things they find scary. Putting a reactive dog in a room with other reactive dogs that are all stressed out is a recipe for disaster. ![]() Some training facilities offer “Reactive Dog” classes. It teaches him to be afraid of his handler, and destroys trust. That doesn’t teach your dog to do something else. We never want to use any type of aversive methods or tools, or punishment. We work on building confidence, and teaching your dog to think, so he will offer these new, better behaviors. We reward the new behaviors well, so your dog will remember them. We want to teach new alternate, incompatible behaviors to replace the ones we don’t want. Is your dog fearful or nervous? Act like a crazy dog on a walk, jumping and lunging at other dogs, people or bikes? Having problems at home in the yard with people or dogs walking by your house or fence? Started biting or other scary behaviors? You’ve come to the right place for help.Īll of these behaviors are fear/anxiety or stress related. I am trained and experienced in behaviour modification techniques that can help you understand and address these issues. ![]()
