Understanding dog reactivity

About this event

Saturday 12 September – 10am to 1pm Join us for a talk, hosted by our Behaviour Team at Cheltenham Animal Shelter, where you can learn about and understand dog reactivity. This workshop is aimed at those who want to learn more about the motivations behind dog reactivity and ways to work around it. The workshop will mainly be focused on dog-to-dog reactivity with hints and tips on how to manage this behaviour through practical and theory-based teaching brought to you by our behaviour team. You will learn topics such as reactivity body language, trigger stacking, the motivations behind your dog reacting to other dogs – and so much more! You will also learn different ways to focus your dog with mentally stimulating games such as find it, counter conditioning, and name conditioning. This workshop will run for approx 3 hours (with refreshments provided!) and you will leave with an information pack which will include a special offer on one-to-one consultations with our behaviourists if you would like further help and support for your dog(s). “The talk was so relevant, and I left with a much better understanding of how and why my dog behaves as she does and that I can make some changes to improve how she behaves and focus on making her feel more settled and content (reggae music for dogs has been so useful!!) Thank you!!” book your place **Please note that unfortunately you are not permitted to bring your own dog(s) to this workshop**
