About this Webinar
This course examines what "reactivity" actually means and explores different factors that may cause reactivity to develop such as genetics, biology, learning history, and developmental experiences; providing an overview of how to create an environment to reduce the chances of reactive behaviour developing as well as providing techniques for overcoming reactive behaviour once it has developed. This webinar is a great opportunity for behaviourists, trainers, veterinarians, or any other pet professional that works with dogs with a tendency to display reactive behaviour.
