Reactive Dog Roundtable
May 29, 2025, 6-7:30 p.m., Novato
With Amy Cook, Ph.D., Karen Deeds, CDBC, and Sophie Liu, DVM

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…is this your dog?

We describe this behavior as reactivity, and no matter where you are on your training journey we invite you to join us for this roundtable discussion with three leading experts in the field of dog reactivity. Whether you’re attending Reactive Dog Camp May 30-June 1, the full camp is beyond your schedule, or you’re new to working with a reactive dog, come listen, learn, and ask questions of these incredible teachers.
