Reactivity and “big emotions” can feel overwhelming for both dogs and their owners. This workshop is designed to help you better understand why your dog reacts and how to guide them toward calmer, more confident behavior.

We’ll break down common causes of reactivity and walk through practical strategies you can use to create clarity, build trust, and improve communication with your dog. You’ll learn how structure, engagement, and appropriate outlets can help dogs regulate their emotions and respond more thoughtfully in challenging situations.
