Advanced Reactive Rover

Now it's time for fun! Capitalize on the foundation skills you learned previously to sample some fun activities for you and your dog in a controlled environment. Advanced Reactive Rover continues creating relaxed, focused dogs in the face of their triggers. Skills will be reinforced through challenging, fun exercises while working in a demanding environment.

In this unique class, we will work in real life situations with our reactive dogs, including finding dogs to work around outside, possibly doing a field trip to train in a new location, and an introduction to agility to provide your dog with a mental and physical challenge. Exercises will be adapted to each dog’s individual skill level, so graduates of Reactive Rover 1 or Reactive Rover 2 are eligible. Please note that dogs must be pre-approved by the instructor as not every reactive dog will be ready for Advanced Reactive Rover.

You have come so far in working with your reactive dog; why not keep up the practice and take the next step up in fun?
