Reactive Roundtable Discussion
Living With a Reactive Dog Roundtable Discussion
This online "support group" usually meets the FOURTH SUNDAY of the month at 6pm, usually for about 60-90 minutes, via Zoom. There is no roundtable in December.
- It can be a lonely life, living with a reactive dog. Even attending class can be lonely - only the instructor, no other fellow "reactive people".
But know that you are not alone!
Let's get together and share of our experiences of what it's like to live with a reactive dog. Let's talk about our dogs' issues in a safe environment, with other owners of reactive dogs who know what it's like, and who don't judge us because we "cannot get the dog to behave" or "cannot control the dog".
THIS EVENT IS OPEN TO PAST AND PRESENT STUDENTS OF OUR REACTIVE DOG PROGRAMME AND PRIVATE TRAINING SERVICES.
If you have any questions about this event, or have not received your invitation, email [email protected] with Reactive Roundtable in the subject line.
There is no charge for participating in this event.
Thanks Bev, You are totally awesome and a great teacher. Thanks also to Lisbeth for her puppy socialization classes, and to Karen and Laurie. We took these classes as a condition of our breeder's contract, and we are so glad we did. It all began with your wonderful puppy socialization classes – little Fred was so happy to meet other little ones, and we learned a lot about dog etiquette and grooming. And then it progressed to Foundation where finally I could put a dog into a “down” without begging (eg our two other goldens now in doggie heaven) and could walk around the neighbourhood without the dog walking me! I think Fred is a happier and smarter puppy because of your training style. Woof woof from Fred! And a big thank you from us!

Louie and I just completed the Puppy Start Right program with Stef at Cowichan Canine, and what a fabulous experience. PSR covers all the basics, with carefully curated play sessions, exposure to various sounds and things from our human world, training tips, and lots of practical advice. Stef is kind and very experienced and has helped me to remember that these crazy first months of puppyhood - with the constant vigilance, all the peeing and biting, and the early wakeup calls - will pass, and is just part of the journey to a well-trained socialized dog. I will always remember how Louie passed out in the car on the way home from class: happy, tired and snoring ever so slightly. Thanks Stef, I cannot imagine doing this without Cowichan Canine.
