	Intro to Fear, Reactivity & Aggression Reactivity is an abnormal or escalated response to something normal in the dog’s environment. If your dog responds by pulling on the leash, barking, jumping on their back feet, etc. You have a reactive dog! This online course sets the stage by going through what reactivity is and how it affects both you and your dog. In our next course (coming soon) we will go over the must have foundation skills for addressing the reactivity.
	Creating a Focused Adult Dog Having an adult dog that exhibits “selective hearing” can be very frustrating. Puppies often tune out their owners when they reach adolescence. Why? Because we have blabbed at them for months, and inadvertently teach them to ignore us.
	If Your Dog Could Talk A dog’s primary way to communicate is using body language. Their communication contains variations of facial features, ear positions, tail positions, muscle tension, eye blink rates, breathing patterns, and body postures. Our dogs are extraordinarily capable of communication! If only we knew how to listen!
	Reactivity 101 We know how challenging reactivity can be and we are here to help as many of you as we can. In this class, you and your dog will learn the foundation skills needed to begin addressing your dogs reactvity. These skills will become the building blocks we will use to change your dogs behavior around their triggers. It is important to start with a solid foundation before moving forward!
