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.
Hello Cowichan Canine Team! My Kooikerhondje, Buddy, and I have just completed the beginner Foundation training course. The whole process has been fantastic.
Buddy is a very smart (of course) and overenthusiastic pup. My goal with him was to nip problems in the bud (pardon the pun:) to start on a path to a positive and calm relationship.
We had the privilege of learning under Jody, Karen and Lisbeth in Prep school. All had different styles but their methods were consistent, positive, sound and they work! Buddy and I then moved on to Beginner Foundation under Stephanie's tutelage. Her guidance was patient, kind and empathetic. I was the slower learner, but Stephanie showed me what Buddy was capable of and gave me the knowledge,tools and insight to meet my goals.
The facility is top-class, well-equipped, spotless and safe.
Learning at Cowichan Canine was the most enriching investment I could have made and I hope to continue in various activities in the future. Thank you all!

My little dog, Tilly and I have completed our Foundations course and I would be remiss if I did not express how wonderful the experience has been. I was so impressed with the organization of the programme and Lisbeth’s knowledgeable and friendly staff. I particularly liked the fact that you could book class times online when they suited you. I adopted Tilly at 5 months and knew that she had had very little socialization and training. For consistency I chose to stay with one instructor, Paula. One can tell that she is very passionate and knowledgeable about her job. I found Paula to be excellent at demonstrating and explaining the tasks at hand and she showed patience and understanding with me as Tilly and I learned together. It also helped that Paula had a good sense of humour and gave us positive feedback and praise when it was often needed. Sadly, there were no “treats” for owners but I would take another course with Cowichan Canine in a heartbeat!
