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.
I had the good fortune and pleasure to take the Foundation Program at Cowichan K9 this winter
with my lab cross puppy Cody. Cody just turned 8 months when we graduated with distinction from this awesome training experience. Bev, Karen, and Glenda were terrific and facilitated our learning with clear instruction, helpful tips, and much kindness and caring.
I've worked with dogs all my life and was amazed at how much I learned participating in this program and now Cody and I get to benefit daily from our indelible experience with you. Training with such positive reinforcement, small class size, and expert facilitation enhanced our relationship beyond measure and will continue to do so now that we have the tools and understanding.
Cody travels on rounds with me and is continually being complimented on his fine manners and keen willingness to please. I am so proud of him! Attending our classes at Cowichan Canine was the highlight of each week and will continue to be as we begin agility classes and scent games.
I can't thank you enough for how your program has enriched our relationship and daily life together.
I recommend all my clients take their dogs to Cowichan Canine. Every one can benefit!
p.s. Your Christmas party was the highlight of the season, hands down! Class act: so many happy, well behaved dogs and their people, games and prizes, Santa and presents, incredibly delicious appies and meatballs galore for all. That was the best Christmas function I've ever attended!
Thank you again -

Wanting to be new dog owners, we got 16 weeks old puppy, named Pepper.
Shortly after bringing Pepper home, she was attacked by much larger dog and
seriously injured.
After consultation with the vet, we came to understanding that Pepper maybe
traumatized by the horrible experience.
We soon realized this was the case, Pepper was scared of other dogs and continuously barking.
We contacted Lisbeth at Cowichan canine, who came to our home and gave us one on one lessons.
We found Lisbeth to be very knowledgeable , professional and patient with novice dog owners.
Lisbeth invited us to the Cowichan canine facility, where we were introduced to the staff and
other dog owners.
Being so impressed with the dedication of the staff and variety of classes, we enrolled Pepper
immediately.
Whenever we have any concerns or questions, Lisbeth is always quick to respond.
Pepper became much calmer dog after reactive dog classes, so I am enjoying walking with her.
To Lisbeth and the stuff, Thank you for everything.
