We loved Reactive Dog 1 with Pamela and Coco and would highly recommend it. Our only regret is not taking this class sooner! We've seen a huge improvement in our dog's reactivity on walks- it's amazing how much of a difference the 6 weeks have made. Our dog seems happier and more confident on walks as well now that she has a better coping mechanism for when she sees another dog. I would say that our dog's reactivity is a 3-4 down from a 9-10, which has been a larger improvement than we thought possible! I cannot recommend this class enough to anyone with a reactive dog.
Don't go anywhere else! We've done agility elsewhere in Chicago, and we learned NOTHING compared to what we learn at Urban pooch. We learn the safe way how to build my pup's confidence while also teaching them the proper way to "bail" on contacts. We've taken private lessons and our Golden is in Daycare here. Their staff is CERTIFIED in dog training and other specialties. You do NOT get that ANYWHERE else in the city.
