Focus Foundations for REACTIVE Dogs Do you find yourself walking your dog in the wee morning hours or late at night to avoid the possibility of passing another dog/person? Does launching, lunging, barking and growling keep you from walking your dog at all due to the stress of it all? Then I believe this class can help. Focus Foundations uses positive reinforcement exercises that teach you control and the skill set to handle situations that were normally tense. The class works on learning to read your dog better and prevent your dog from rehearsing unwanted behavior. Attention work, attention to the environment and trust building are core elements to keeping reactivity at a minimum, while working to build positive associations with the site of other dogs and people. Other topics covered are, visitors to the home, destruction in the home and submissive peeing. Control Unleashed Control Unleashed is geared for dogs that compete in agility, or any other dog sport, and have difficulty with focus in a high energy environment.
