Beyond the Bark

Use this in depth course to get a good handle on your dog's reactivity. We look at where it comes from, the important skills to help your dog in the moment, and some ways of managing emotions and behaviour when out and about.

Reactivity is a very broad spectrum of emotional and physical responses to a trigger: dogs, people, visitors, cars, bikes...the list could be endless. This course provides the tools and educational materials to help you better understand your dog's own experience.

These materials are to support your programme.
