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.
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.

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.
