One of the most challenging components about working with a reactive dog in the real world is that the environment itself isn’t always predictable. And what if your goal is to help a reactive dog acclimate to a new environment, and/or acclimate to other dogs being present? How can we change the environment, to then change their behavior? Course circles are stations with pieces of equipment (think platforms, cones, cavalleti poles, slow feeders, etc) placed in a large circle, with strategic behaviors assigned to each station. Course circles are designed to: – Build the dog’s skill set – Facilitate movement and body awareness – Allow for scent gathering with other dogs present – Create predictability using environmental cues – Be fun and engaging for both ends of the leash Learn how to use course circles for dogs who struggle staying relaxed and responsive in the presence of triggers, or in unfamiliar environments. Whether you’re a seasoned professional looking for a fresh approach to your leash reactivity cases and group classes, or a handler of a reactive dog looking for ways to help your dog feel more secure in the world, this webinar is for you.
