Dog Training for Reactive Dogs

All dogs will stay in our family home where kennels are not an option. Every dog will be trained in the real world ranging from public fields/ parks, cafes/pubs, streets, forests and town centre’s passing your typical unruly reactive dogs on walks where most of your everyday challenges occur.

At IBK9 Training, we provide dog training for reactive dogs because we understand the challenges that come with owning a reactive dog, which is why we offer specialised training designed to address and mitigate reactive behaviours. Our goal is to help your dog become more comfortable and less stressed in various social situations.

Understanding Dog Reactivity:

Dog reactivity often comes from bad experiences with other dogs or people, especially in places like doggy daycares or during on-leash greetings. In daycare, rough play or bullying can make a dog anxious over time, while leashes can make greetings feel tense and restrictive. Both situations can lead to frustration or fear-based reactivity. Our residential dog training program focuses on understanding these triggers and teaching your dog alternative behaviours.

Reactivity can make everyday situations stressful for both you and your dog. It typically manifests as excessive barking, lunging, or snapping when faced with specific triggers, such as other dogs, strangers, or new environments. Our training programs focus on understanding these triggers and teaching your dog alternative, more appropriate behaviours.
