Join us for Loudoun County’s only force-free class for reactive dogs. Marnie Montgomery of Joyful Dog, and Kim Miller of Hearts in Harmony, are joining forces on this class designed to give you the techniques and tools to help your dog successfully navigate encounters with other dogs.

In this eight week class, you and your dog will practice skills for managing challenging situations, while at the same time we will work to change your dog’s opinion of other dogs. We will guide you in fun new ways to engage with your dog as you teach him new skills for interacting with his environment.

Because of the nature of reactive behavior, we may request more specific information about your dog’s reactivity before class, and may ask to meet with you and your dog.

Lay the foundations for polite leash walking:

• • Attention
  • Reinforcement
  • Communication

…and gradually increase the level of difficulty, based on your own dog’s success zone, so that they (and you!) practice and strengthen successful skills.

Dogs should be comfortable working around other dogs and people.
