Leash Reactive Dogs – The Quick and Easy Secrets to Making this a Simple Problem presented by Yvette Van Veen

Dog training, of course, is simple, but not always easy. However, some strategies and techniques can make what appears to be a challenging problem much easier to address. Avoid the standard stumbling blocks to make this a problem you look forward to fixing! Come and learn what leash reactivity is, how we define it, and the tactics we use to prevent and manage this problematic behavior.

Objectives:

• What is leash reactivity? Define the problem to create a clear training path.
• Yes you can beat distractions with a cookie! Here’s how.
• Why some leash reactive dogs snub food.
• The importance of creating the right cue. Teach the dog to do an incompatible behavior when they see what triggers them.
• What drives the problem? It’s not fear.
• Understand the importance of not training in the context until ready.
• How to build powerful behaviors that stand up to distractions.
• Avoid bad behavior chains. It’s not bark then look at me!
• Clear criteria. Training is a progression, not a one step skill.

Yvette Van Veen presents the seminar. Yvette  has two decades of experience training dogs, lives and works in London Ontario

Yvette returns to PPG after a hiatus to discuss a combination of dog science, academic literature derived from studies and courses taken
pertaining to human disorders found in the DSM plus a good dose of, “wish I knew this earlier”. She resides with her son in London Ontario, and as always, continues to allow the dogs to sleep on the bed. She’s now ready to share her lived experiences so you can avoid the pitfalls she fell into! In addition to her work in the animal training industry, she also paints in watercolour, because learning never ends.
