Reducing Reactivity- Wednesdays 5:00 pm

Reducing Reactivity - 5:00 pm

The Reducing Reactivity class is designed for dogs who struggle with mild to moderate reactivity. This class will teach you how to better communicate with your dog and learn what your dog is telling you. We will work on different strategies and techniques to work dogs through reactive episodes and to prevent reactivity from happening in the future. This class will not solve your reactivity issues, but will give you the tools and tips you need to get started. This class is NOT for dogs who have bitten or shown aggression to other dogs or people. 

Prerequisites:  Complete questionnaire on your dog's behavior and review introductory email, including homework assignments. Dogs must have basic obedience and be food motivated. Dogs must wear properly fitted martingale collar or harness.

Length: 6 weeks

he mission of GCOC is to teach the handler successful methods of training which will result in a lifelong bond with their dog. Our goal is to provide a safe environment that will encourage this learning process. GCOC does reserve the right to excuse any dog who is disruptive or whose learning threshold has been exceeded.

GCOC reserves the right to cancel or reschedule classes.

The Greater Columbia Obedience Club will refund fees paid for a class, minus a $15 administration fee, if cancellation occurs at least five days prior to the first day of class. If cancellation is requested after that period, but the available slot can be filled from the class wait list, the payment minus the $15 administration fee, will be refunded. No refund will be paid if the slot cannot be filled, or the class begins. GCOC recognizes that extenuating circumstances may occur. In this event, an application may be made to the Training Director for a review of the situation. Such occurrences as a bitch in heat, death in the family, illness of canine or trainer will be considered.
