Leash Reactivity Pilot Programs
Dealing with reactive behaviors like barking, lunging, and pulling on leash is stressful, and makes walks with your dog something to dread instead of look forward to! The Leash Reactivity Pilot Programs aim to give guardians and dogs the knowledge, skills, and confidence they need to enjoy walks together again.
This program is available in two formats: Private Coaching and Home School.
Both formats happen in your home, neighborhood, and locations where you and your dog regularly spend time.
Private Coaching is appropriate for guardians who have the time and desire to do more of the hands-on training themselves, and are looking for professional guidance in doing so. Sessions focus on skill building, practical application, and discussions of key concepts and recommendations.
Home School is a good fit for guardians who would prefer to have a professional take the lead in jump-starting their dog’s training, and then learn how to maintain and continue the progress that’s been made. I come to take your dog out for training walks three times per week, and meet with you every other weekend for transfer sessions to get you up to speed.
Pilot programs are made available at discounted rates and are limited in availability. By participating in a pilot program you agree to provide feedback via a survey after completing the program, and to allow for the use of videos recorded during training sessions in future professional materials.
Home School format available for residents of Jamaica Plain, Roslindale, Hyde Park, and West Roxbury only.
Private Coaching format available in all in-person service areas.
