Reactive Dog Camp: Register for a Lectures-Only Pass
May 30-June 1, 2025, Petaluma
A 3-day intensive at FDSA Ranch with Amy Cook, Ph.D., Karen Deeds, CDBC, and Sophie Liu, DVM
Hosted by Marin Humane and FDSA Ranch

Barking, lunging, growling, jumping at the end of the leash, fixating, refusing food, ignoring well-known cues, all because a dog or other trigger comes into sight.

We describe this behavior as dog reactivity, and invite you to take a deeper dive into training and supportive tools available to dogs, handlers, trainers, and veterinarians who work with reactivity.
