One of the top issues adopters reach out to me for help with, is their Romanian or overseas rescue dogs barking, lunging & generally having big feelings towards dogs, people, joggers, cyclists and a myriad of other things on walks. It's a big and stressful problem when you're faced with it every day, every time you step outside the door to walk your dogs.
I know first hand what that feels like! I've had several 'reactive' German Shepherds over the years, and my own Romanian boy, Tramp, was triggered by pretty much everything as an adolescent.
This workshop - created specifically for Romanian & Overseas dogs that react to things on walks aims to provide you with a better understanding of how to help set your dogs up better to handle situations out and about in the big wide world. It explains the advantages of following a structured process and taking a holistic approach.
Simply attempting to 'train away' the behaviour, is rarely successful long term because it doesn't take into consideration all the potential physiological & emotional factors that could be influencing your dog's behaviour.
Why Would this Workshop be Perfect for You?
Although you may have read lots of training advice around reactivity on walks, and possibly even worked with other trainers - not all trainers understand Romanian dogs and their sometimes quirky natures. Many Romanian dogs can benefit from a slightly different approach - working with their naturally evolved nature rather than against it.
Benefits for your dog: Many foreign rescue dogs can be uncomfortable travelling in cars, being in large groups of unknown dogs and around people they don't know - so learning via an online resource can be a great option for these dogs.
Benefits for you: There is no travel involved for you or your dog and you're not tied to classes or appointments.
You get to work in the comfort of your own home and familiar environment, you can watch the workshop & supporting resources as many times as you need and share it with everyone who walks your dog, because consistency plays a big part in seeing progress.
Your Reactivity on Walks workshop recording includes a 30 page PDF workbook you can download, to help you formulate a progress plan for your dog. There is also a selection of additional resources for you inside that compliment the information shared in the workshop.
Whilst it's not possible to provide an entire step by step process for resolving reactivity on walks during one workshop - because every dog is different - the information shared can absolutely help you get started moving things in a positive direction

Best ever
This is the best lesson from someone who intimately understands the behaviour of Romanian dogs and it is so helpful and good to know that the behaviour and reactions of mine is typical. I recommend it highly
