If your dog struggles with the world around them – whether that looks like barking, lunging, freezing, hiding, over-excitement, or difficulty coping with people, dogs, noises, or environments – this seminar will help you understand what’s going on and how to support them.
The Reactivity Seminar is designed to give dog owners, trainers, and enthusiasts a deeper understanding of why these behaviours occur and how to create meaningful, lasting change.
This seminar goes far beyond simply labelling a dog as “reactive.” We explore the biological, emotional, and experiential factors that shape behaviour, covering key topics such as:
• What reactivity is (and what it isn’t)
• The five main causes, including genetics, socialisation, health, learning history, and past experiences
• The impact of owner mindset, emotions, and relationships on progress
• Practical tools and strategies, from management techniques to positive training methods
• Pattern games, BAT, LAT, and confidence-building exercises to create long-term change
• Cooperative care, enrichment, and skill-stacking to build resilience and trust
Through real-life examples, structured exercises, and clear explanations, participants learn how to replace frustration and fear with curiosity, confidence, and connection.
Whether you’re a dog owner navigating daily challenges, a club instructor, or simply passionate about canine behaviour, this seminar provides the knowledge and tools to make a real difference.
