Reactivity Workshop

This workshop is focused on managing reactivity and developing neutrality in dogs. This workshop is completely free for current and past Woof Hero pet parents. If you know someone who would like to participate, they must first schedule a session to learn the engage/disengage game; afterward, they are welcome to join the workshop.

This workshop will be ongoing, with new activities each week designed to help your dogs reach a calm, neutral state. Participation is free, so please note that I can provide limited support. Please contact us to get on a reminder email list.

Rules:

  • No one leash greetings.

  • All dogs MUST be on leash.

  • Clean-up after your dog.

  • No abuse (if you wouldn’t do it to your child in public don’t do it to your dog).

Recommended Equipment

  • 6ft leash - For powerful dogs I recommend having two leashes. One attach to the collar around your waist and the other attached to a harness that you hold with your hand.
