Leash Reactivity: Modify Your Dog's Aggressive Behavior

Is your dog's leash walking a stressful experience? Does your dog exhibit unwanted behaviors like barking, lunging, or growling at people, other dogs, or moving objects while on leash? This comprehensive course provides a step-by-step program to effectively address leash reactivity in dogs – all without resorting to force, fear, or pain.

This program is designed for dogs displaying aggressive behaviors on walks stemming from fear, anxiety, frustration, or overexcitement. Often, these behaviors are a dog's way of communicating stress; they're essentially saying, "I need your help!"

Learn to transform your role from reactive owner to your dog's coach. This course equips you with the tools to understand your dog's emotional needs, interpret their body language, and communicate effectively to help them focus on you and relax during stressful situations. The goal is to build a confident and relaxed dog who looks to you for guidance, rather than reacting aggressively.

The course is structured into six key sections, each offering practical training protocols with detailed instructions and abundant video demonstrations to help you achieve your leash walking goals. You'll learn and implement:

• Three levels of counterconditioning and desensitization: Gradually change your dog's emotional response to common triggers.
• Effective management techniques: Optimize your training for maximum success.
• Essential leash manners training: Establish clear communication and a stronger bond between you and your dog.

Led by Kate Naito, a Certified Dog Behavior Consultant (CDBC) and Certified Professional Dog Trainer-Knowledge Assessed (CPDT-KA), this course utilizes force-free methods to foster clear communication and build trust. We emphasize humane and safe behavior modification – understanding that lasting change requires teamwork and patience. While there are no quick fixes, the results of a collaborative approach can be truly transformative for both you and your dog. Improve your dog's well-being and enjoy stress-free walks!
