Reactivity for Dog Training and Behavior Professionals

A comprehensive professional course


Starter Course
 

Master the Reactivity Zones Approach™


Stop struggling with traditional approaches to modifying reactivity that can be unreliable in the real world.
When clients come to you with "reactive" dogs that are lunging, barking, growling, and snapping, they're exhausted, embarrassed, and desperate for solutions that actually work. As a professional, you need tools that go beyond basic threshold management and deliver lasting results.

The Reactivity Zones Approach™ - a cornerstone component of VSA’s Reactivity for Dog Training & Behavior Professionals course - is a revolutionary, welfare-focused method that's simple to teach clients but sophisticated in application. It works even when clients have imperfect timing, helping them navigate challenging environments and operating in tandem with human/dog needs.
