Dog Reactivity

If your dog experiences overwhelming EXCITEMENT when seeing other dogs, people, bicycles, traffic, or unfamiliar animals, it can be incredibly stressful for both of you. This reaction—barking, spinning, and lunging—can turn every outing into a challenging situation, leaving you feeling frustrated and your dog feeling unsettled. Two Dads Dog Training understands how this can weigh on your relationship and make it difficult to enjoy your time TOGETHER. You’re not alone in this experience, and it’s completely normal to feel concerned about how it affects your daily life.

Special Nosework Package - $270

Dog tracking is a competitive sport that's growing in popularity. In this sport, dogs learn to follow a human's path and find objects dropped by the human. It is a great confidence booster.

This package provides dogs experiencing anxiety or reactive behaviors with activities that enrich their day during outings. Since having these dogs in a group setting can be challenging, individualized sessions will help them enhance focus, find purpose, enjoy mental enrichment, and gain the physical benefits associated with their natural seeking instincts.

How does tracking help anxious or reactive dogs?

Tracking helps reinforce the focus needed to de-escalate reactive dog tendencies. It's more sustainable than asking your dog to give you attention when other dogs are present.

Human-dog teams dealing with reactivity often remain stationary while other dogs pass by, which can exacerbate their dogs' reactive responses. In contrast, tracking keeps you and your dog moving, fostering quicker progress.
