Dogs are reactive for one of two reasons. They’re either excited or frustrated because of being restrained when they want to approach an object, dog or person, or they’re afraid and want the object, dog or person to go away. The behaviors' can appear similar in both cases. We use positive, scientifically proven counter-conditioning and desensitization to teach self control and change your dog's emotional state and behaviors'.
