If this all sounds like your dog, we are here for you!

​

At Proud Paws we understand that these behaviors can be worrisome, exhausting, embarrassing and even scary.

 

This can be exacerbated by the nature of the urban environment and the challenge of finding places to exercise your dog without the constant struggle.

 

Are you are tired of getting up at the crack of dawn in an attempt to beat the fray?

Maybe you have even stopped trying to walk your dog completely...

​

Reactive behaviors are often a result of fear, insecurity, over-stimulation or frustration. Your dog may even enjoy the company of other dogs off-leash but loses all sense of control when encounters occur under restraint.

​

Proud Paws has a perfectly tailored formula for the leash reactive dog that assists pet parents in deciphering where these behaviors are coming from and most importantly how to pave the way toward remedying them. You will learn how to see things from your dog's point of view, feel empowered with the tools to confidently and decisively handle each situation and feel the relief of achieving a manageable and enjoyable walking experience.

​

 

What makes this program a uniquely valuable choice:

​

Most reactivity training protocols involve either harsh methods and equipment, unnecessarily correcting and punishing your dog for their 'mistakes' and attempting to change behavior by force, or a repetitive and often arduous set of steps that makes it difficult for the pet parent to feel successful and ultimately misses the opportunity to 'think outside the box'.

​

The Proud Paws 'REACTIVE TO RELAXED' program takes you through an in-depth team-building experience with your dog, creatively addressing their stress and over-arousal in multiple areas of your routine, teaching them a clear line of focus on you when on leash and providing you with a full toolbox of games, cues and techniques that will shape and strengthen your dog's skills, as well as their ability to make good choices - to choose YOU.
