Seminar

Join us for this 2 hour Reactive Dog Seminar on February 11th at 9am with Louise Belmont of Red Pointy Dog Training. Louise specializes in helping reactive and aggressive dogs and their owners. In this session she will discuss why your dog is reactive, what makes the behavior occur and, how we can use positive training techniques to change that behavior to something more desirable. We’ll discuss dog body language and stress signals, handling techniques, training equipment, and techniques that you can use with your own dogs at home. Below, you can purchase a ticket to attend the seminar ONLY for $75.

Workshop

In these small workshops on February 18th, we’ll get to practice the techniques outlined in the seminar. Using the knowledge you acquired from the previous seminar you’ll get to put those techniques to the test with your own dog in this semi private, hands on workshop. We’ll set each dog up for success and Louise will coach you through the training techniques to help your dogs reactivity. Below, you can purchase a ticket to attend the seminar and one of the three workshops on February 18th for $115. *You must attend the seminar to participate in the workshop*
