Turn reactive chaos into calm companionship with our tailored dog training programs just for dogs that bark, lunge, growl and otherwise react to things they shouldn’t!
Our team of dog behavior experts is ready to help you and your reactive dog develop the skills to navigate the world safely and successfully together.
We offer two main starting points for supporting our new Reactive Dog students - Reactive Dog 101 (Group Class) and Reactive Dog Trail Blazer (Private Lesson Package).
Graduates of either program have the option to continue into Group Therapy for Reactive Dogs (Drop-In Practice Classes) or a Trail Maintenance Private Lesson Package.

Join us for foundation learning about resolving reactive dog behavior in Reactive Dog 101! This class is for dogs who bark, growl or lunge when on-leash and in the presence of other dogs or other triggers. Training is done in a safe, low-stress classroom environment to teach you and your dog the skills to manage and modify your dog's current reaction to the presence of other dogs (or other reactivity triggers). Our Reactive Dog group classes are small groups to support you and your dog as you work on resolving these behavior challenges together.

One-on-one Lessons @ The Summit Facility
If any of the following describe your dog, start here!

5 x 45 Minute Lessons / Trail Blazer Package / $697
Private lessons are individually tailored to what you and your dog need at every step of your training journey. For our Reactive Dog Trail Blazer package, we focus first on building a foundation of emotional regulation, confidence, good communication between you and your dog, and focused skills to help your dog navigate reactivity triggers with better behavior. When your dog is ready, we creatively add challenges in the practice environment by incorporating your dog’s reactivity triggers at difficulty levels where they can successfully rehearse their new, calmer behavior patterns!
