REACTIVE DOG CLASSES PERTH

Understand and change your dog’s reactivity!

Address and improve your dog’s reactivity

Dogs are born fearful to most things in society; people, other dogs and animals, machinery, noises, etc. We prevent these fears from becoming an issue through early critical period habituation and exposure, however if our dog has not had these early, positive experiences, it is highly likely that they will be reactive later. Reactivity is a broad term and covers many levels and types of behaviour, with the most common cause being fear based for high end issues. Agile Dogs reactive courses will give you a full understanding of why your dog is reacting to certain stimuli and the most effective way to address it.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Dave came around for a one on one session with our new rescue dog Mikey. Dave is so knowledgeable about dog behaviours and training methods. He educated me on why Mikey was reacting the way he was and what I needed to do to be a good leader for him. It all made such perfect sense. I also appreciated that Dave made sure I was realistic about my expectations for Mikey. I only wish I had found Dave from the very beginning of our journey with Mikey. I feel so much more aligned and comfortable with Dave’s training approach and look forward to continuing our journey with Agile Dog Training.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We recently attended our first class at Agile Dogs and we were really impressed! The class ran seamlessly with over a dozen pups. The trainer was very knowledgeable and approachable. Not only did he provide practical advice,  but also demonstrated the techniques with such ease, making it easy for us to follow and apply with our pup Really glad we found Agile Dogs and will definitely be back for future classes. Highly recommend!

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We engaged Dave for a home visit to help us with our 3 year old Labrador. Dave gave us practical advice and demonstrated some effective strategies to assist with lead walking and excessive barking. We have seen a dramatic improvement in how we manage our dog’s behaviour. Would highly recommend his services.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Highly recommend this dog training! We have a three year old Kelpie cross who is reactive to other dogs when on the lead. We’ve had one session of one-on-one training and attended one group session and can see a difference already. Thanks Dave!

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Definitely recommend Agile Dogs to any new puppy owner! David is so knowledgeable, and for the short time that I was able to be at the private session with my partner, I learned so many new techniques to put into practise. He provided the support and knowledge we need to get through the roller coaster puppy phase. 5/5!
