Reactive Rover

Spent Sunday August 8, 2010 at Kim Moeller's Reactive Rover seminar co-hosted by the Humane Society of Silicon Valley, Positively Trained and South Bay Trainers.  Kim Moeller was one of my instructors while attending the SF/SPCA Academy for Dog Trainers and during my internship specializing in dog aggression.

She covered some leash handling techniques, basic default behaviors, management games dealing with dogs that are reactive to whatever stimulus. In this seminar she used dog-dog set ups but the techniques can apply to whatever your dog reacts to: bikes, skateboards, squirrels, kids running around, etc.

A lot of this was review- things that were covered in the Academy but Kim brings personal stories and 'joy' to working with difficult dogs.  Check out her website: http://www.moellerdog.com/
