During the colder months, we'll do lots of active indo …

This is a group for people with difficult dogs to walk together and help each other in working with our dogs. We follow methods like BAT and Control Unleashed. The idea is that reactive dogs need to practice being around other people or dogs or whatever they are reactive to, but at a level that is under threshold. We can do this by respecting each dog and persons limits. Dogs should have basic obedience and since we aim to stay under threshold, we should be building on positive experiences each …
