Reactive Behavioral Training for Dogs

Reactive dogs often overreact to stimuli like other dogs, people, or noises, causing barking, lunging, or aggressive behavior. This can make walks and social settings stressful for both dogs and owners. At Sit Means Sit Space Coast, our reactive dog training program helps identify your dog’s specific triggers and uses positive reinforcement to teach calm, controlled responses. We work on building your dog’s confidence and impulse control to improve social skills and overall behavior.
