Our Reactive Dog Walks offer a safe, guided environment where owners can practice walking their dogs around others. With controlled exposure and professional guidance, our trainer helps you handle your dog’s behaviors, improving your ability to walk confidently without being pulled or worrying about reactive responses. This class is also ideal for owners of non-reactive dogs who want to refine leash manners and keep their dog focused in the presence of distractions.
Controlled exposure to other dogs in a supportive environment
Improve leash manners and reduce pulling or reactive behaviors
Build your dog's focus and attentiveness around distractions
Reactive behavior often stems from big emotions like overexcitement or anxiety, which can be amplified by leash tension
A pre-walk assessment visit is required for first-time attendees with reactive dogs; schedule via email at training@unchainedmelodies.org
If you've attended a class or have a non-reactive dog, no assessment is needed, but our trainer will reach out to discuss your dog and walk expectations before your first session
