Reactive Dog Training Class in Toronto
REACTIVE DOG TRAINING CLASS TORONTO
LEASH MONSTER!
A training class for reactive dogs in Toronto
Does your dog drive you crazy every time you go on a walk, barking and lunging at every other dog? Do you daydream about actually enjoying walking your dog and maybe even getting through a walk without a meltdown?
Join certified dog trainer Amanda Factor, CTC of Benevolent Beasts for LEASH MONSTER, a fun 4-week training class just for reactive dogs.
You’ll learn a variety of new skills, games, and activities that you can bring on future walks, designed to teach your dog to engage with you and do other things besides “losing it” every time he sees a dog!
By the end of the class, you’ll be armed with your “reactive dog toolbox” and the knowledge to take your dog’s walks from frustrating to fun!
This will be a small group class of maximum 3 dogs. Please note: This class is not suitable for dogs who have a fear of strangers.

The virtual orientation will cover the basics of reactivity and more tips for calmer walks.
Benevolent Beasts also offers private training, if you’d like to continue your dog’s training after the class.
