Teaching the Reactive Dog Class

Teaching a reactive dog class is not for the inexperienced or the faint of heart; the challenges are many, but the rewards are great. In Teaching the Reactive Dog Class, Emma presents an entire six-week curriculum you can adjust to your needs. This blueprint for instructors and staff and for go-it-alone owners of reactive dogs offers:

a week-by-week guide to class goals, key concepts, and crucial exercises

practical advice about what to do when things go wrong

a set of accompanying weekly student handouts of exercises (also available as downloadable PDFs)

background and principles every instructor should know

guidelines for recruiting, training, and using class assistants

special requirements for students

detailed recommendations for continuing training once students have completed the class
