Urban Dog Reactivity Online Program
Taking Walks from “Yikes” to “Yes”!
Calling all dog guardians whose dogs lunge, bark, growl, and snarl on leash at triggers, like dogs, people, bikes, skateboards, and more!
Does this sound familiar?
You and your dog are stepping out the front door of your house after you looked carefully left and right to make sure that there are no other dogs, humans, skateboards, or other triggers nearby.
The coast is clear. You breathe a sigh of relief. Maybe this will be one of those rare good walks, you think…
… until a person comes around the corner with their two dogs on leash.
Ugh. Your heart sinks into your stomach, and you feel your hands getting sweaty. In the same moment, your dog catches up with what’s going on. You feel the tension on the leash almost before you see your dog lunging, and then the barking starts.
You do your best to get your dog under control, as you hustle across the street and seek shelter behind a parked car. Your heart is pounding, and your dog is still visibly upset as well. You turn for home and decide not to risk it today.
But really, wouldn’t it be nice if you could just go on a walk with your dog? Is it possible to overcome leash reactivity?
Fortunately, the answer is YES.
You can help your dog handle their triggers better, just as you can learn safe behavior patterns for yourself to keep calm and controlled in situations where a trigger is present.
And that’s where the Urban Dog Reactivity Online Program comes in.
