What is Reactive Rover?

Does your dog bark and lunge at other dogs or people? Are you a chronic street crosser when someone approaches you and your dog?

This class is for people who are hypervigilant of their surroundings during walks with their dogs because they dread the barking and lunging that happens when their dog sees other dogs or people.

We will work on calmly walking past triggers and being able to maintain control of your dog.

We will discuss how to properly manage unpredictable situations to keep both you and your dog safe and happy!

Upcoming Reactive Rover Sessions

Before your first class (or even before signing up), please view our training policies. These policies are design not only for your and your pet’s safety, but to ensure classes run smoothly and effectively. Remember, both for shelter animals and public classes, all of Joybound’s dog training is done via positive reinforcement methods.
