Reactive Rover Classes
Reactive Rover is a 6-week class designed for dogs who bark, lunge, growl, or become overstimulated when they see other dogs. You’ll learn practical skills to manage reactivity, improve focus and attention, and create calmer, more controlled walks in real-world situations.
Training focuses on clear communication, reading your dog’s body language, and building positive associations through proven techniques like counterconditioning and desensitization. You’ll also learn routines to help your dog relax and make better choices around triggers.
Classes are kept small, with a maximum of four dogs, to ensure a controlled and supportive environment. The first session is a handler-only lecture, so no dogs attend the first class.
For all dog breeds that are adolescent and adults (20+ weeks old).
Not Sure Where to Start? Evaluation Lessons Available!
We offer a 15-minute Private Manners Evaluation to get you and your dog into the right class. Is your dog extra barky or excited about other dogs, but you’re not sure if they need Reactive Rover class or maybe just Rowdy to Well-Mannered? This is the perfect way to know for sure.
