8-Week Reactive Dog Training Program – Help Your Dog Stay Calm & Confident!

Does your dog bark, lunge, or get overly excited around other dogs, people or distractions? You are not alone!

At Eazy Dog Training, we specialise in helping reactive dogs and their owners regain peace of mind with the help of our unique 8-week reactivity training program for dogs or through private home training in your own home/neighbourhood . If you wish to book private home training you can do it here!

Our approach is based on positive reinforcement, desensitisation, and counterconditioning in controlled training set ups, helping your dog feel safe and you both enjoy life without stress.

Our 8-Week Reactive Dog Training Program Includes:

  • An online reactivity training seminar to help you better understand reactivity and the expectations for training. You can watch this via a link sent to you at your convenience before your first face-to-face training lesson.
  • 8 weekly 45-minute training lessons with a qualified and experienced dog trainer in controlled training set ups at a private location.
  • The benefit of the trainer’s two very well trained dogs as demo dogs for training.
  • All lessons are tailored and adjusted to each individual dog and handler. All lessons will start at a private location in Mascot and will progress to real life situations outside according to progress and the trainer’s assessment.
What Is Our Availability for the Reactivity Training?

All training is conducted mainly Monday to Friday from 7am to 8pm with some Sunday availability.

This is important for the quality of training, we need to manage the training environment and avoid busy weekend times for our real-life training set ups.
