Reactivity to other reactive dogs I new about the counterconditioning training before, but the course gives more examples to try on. I also like, that the reads and the videos are short, so I am able to do the course during my work. I wonder if my example would be interesting to mention. My dog is reactive to other dogs, especially small breeds and those, who barks at their fences. So we continued passing the fenced barking dogs in the neibourhood, keeping the distance and doing sniffing. Now my dog can pass these situations almost without paying attention to barking dogs behind the fence. I understand, it’s not the best option to use others reactive dogs for training.

Simple Yet Ingenious Approach to Dog Training This course is great. It provides a framework when attempting to turn a sweet energetic puppy into a good citizen. It has kept my experience from becoming overwhelming. All training is positive and reward based. Steffi takes a different approach to attacking issues that I really liked, for instance how to keep your dog from jumping up and how to keep them from tugging on a walk, both very simple yet ingenious approaches. I would highly recommend especially if you are feeling overwhelmed and are not sure where to start or what approach to take.

Site Management This review has nothing to do with any program within the site. I wouldn't know because after purchasing the Puppy Training Bundle for $49.00 I could not get into the training site. I sent numerous emails to Spiritdogtraining with Zero Response. I just wanted help trying to log onto the site and information I paid for. I've asked for a full refund. Again, I'm not rating the program experience but the site's management problem. UPDATED REVIEW: I believe in correcting or updating a review when warranted. Evidently, Spiritdogtraining's site was having technical difficulties which wouldn't allow me to enter the program. I can understand that this could happen and they refunded my purchase. I commend them for their actions as well as thank them for their response. Again, my review was not against the program but against the IT department, therefore my review has been updated.

Tackling reactivity Purchased the tackling reactivity bundle to give it a try, and have been pleasantly surprised. My dog used to growl and bark at any dog that came into sight. Now, we are able be around other dogs and 99% of the time there is no reactivity. Life changing.

Tackling Reactivity Training We have been working through the Tackling Reactivity program with our 10-month-old Lab. Unfortunately, he missed out on the most important socializing stages as a puppy due to the pandemic and the lockdowns in our area. This program has really helped us learn how to help him overcome his fears and be more successful on his walks and when meeting people and dogs.
