Reactive Dog Clinic - 2021

Please review the COVID-19 Safety Plan for the Reactive Dog Clinic.
Work with your dog to gain confidence in social interactions
Adults*
Join us for this opportunity to work with others who also own reactive dogs, to gain confidence, calm, and capability. Teach your dog (and yourself) the self-confidence and the skills needed to relax, focus, and enjoy being around others – people, dogs, and other animals.
The first date of each session is a humans-only orientation (must be registered for class).

Pre-requisites:

Pre-requisites: Must provide proof of current vaccinations at first class. Participants must be able to keep physical control of their dog. We reserve the right to restrict any dog’s participation for any reason, for the safety of other dogs and participants.
Bring: a collar, harness with chest-pull D-ring, treat bag, treats your dog loves, good stout leash (recommend waist belt), and water. Participants will need to bring evidence of current vaccinations, a signed WAIVER, and a completed FIGHT HISTORY FORM.
