(Realizing Excellence With Attention Redirection and Desensitization)

 LIVE Online Class for Reactive & Aggressive Dogs

Start safely at home with this 7-week live online class designed to build essential skills and confidence for both you and your dog with Pamela Dennison, CDBC (Certified Dog Behavior Consultant), author of many books and dvds including: How to Right a Dog Gone Wrong and Bringing Light to Shadow.

You’ll learn proven positive-reinforcement techniques like DRI (Differential Reinforcement of Incompatible behaviors) and DRA (Alternate behaviors) to help your dog respond calmly to triggers. We’ll cover:

• Establishing foundation behaviors through positive methods;
• Reading your dog’s body language properly;
• Learning to interpret your environment, quickly and effectively;
• Teaching you to set up safe and successful sessions;
• Erecting a line of communication from both sides of the leash;
• Learning how to properly set, raise or lower criteria;
• Applying the counterconditioning and desensitization process properly;
• Understanding the causes of aggression, including the human factors;
• Breaking down behaviors into small approximations, always setting the dog up for success;
• Staying focused and concentrating under pressure;
• Turning off the environment and tuning into your dog;

Get ready for long-term success—safely and supportively.

Limited to 8 working spots. Unlimited auditors welcome!  Auditors get access to the class but won’t be able to ask questions, won’t have access to the training booklet nor to the recordings. 

Safe, supportive, and effective – no need to fear the word “group” when it’s online!

This class is more than just management—it’s about building real-life skills and trust, for long-term success. It is also a preparatory step for the R.E.W.A.R.D. Zone In-Person Seminar: 14 hours-Weekend intensive workshop: Friday 7–9pm, Saturday–Sunday 9am–4pm. After completing one or more online sessions, and depending on your dog’s progress, you may be eligible to participate in the hands-on seminar (dates TBA). It’s a safe, structured space to continue working through reactivity under expert supervision.
