Who is this for?
Anyone with mild to moderate lead reactivity towards dogs. Those that want to learn strategies, training techniques and have careful exposure to stimulus in a safe, controlled environment. We will use a mixture of direct training protocols and enrichment activities to learn how to cope being near other dogs. The classes will give you lifelong knowledge and skills that you can use with your current dog and any future dogs. This isn’t for anyone who wants a perfect “fixed” robot dog that never does anything wrong again. Reactivity takes time to resolve so please be patient and anyone joining the course will be given information on reducing stress before we get started.

The classes will run from 10.15am to 11.15am Friday 31st May 2024, each Friday to 5th July 2024. The location will be Epping, Essex, CM16.

Terms & Conditions, please read.
Dogs should be on lead and under control at all times. This means you are able to hold onto your dog and keep it close to you. Do not worry if it barks and lunges a bit, that is what we are working on.
Please bag up any poo. There are poo bins on site.
There are no toilet facilities on site. The nearest cafe is in Epping, about 5 mins drive.
Payment is non-refundable. In the event of very bad weather the session will be rescheduled and you will be given a new date for attending. Unfortunately I cannot negotiate with the class on the new date should the class be rearranged, so there will be a new date provided to you all if necessary. If bad weather is forecast you will be notified as early as possible the class has to be rearranged that day. We will still go ahead in light to medium rain or wind. Please wear appropriate clothing.
It is your responsibility to ensure your dog is suitably vaccinated.
You are responsible for your dog’s behaviour and also its safety in the session. Please ensure you have public liability insurance. This is not a legal requirement but it is advisable for all of us dog owners. Let me know if you have any questions on this matter and I can advise further.
Filming will be taking place during the sessions for use on social media. If you do not want to appear on my socials please let me know.
