Reactivity: Our Specialty

Mixed Breed dog being reactive.jpg

Whether reactivity towards strangers, family members, other dogs, resource guarding or territorially,  reactivity can easily risk injury. Also, every time your dog is reactive it just reinforces the behavior. That is one of the reasons reactivity only increases over time. 

 

You need a system that stops the reactivity, increases tolerance towards triggers and changes their very way of thinking. In other words, you need a comprehensive solution that produces functional results.

About Naked Dog Training

My background includes apprenticing under top European masters in the fields of dog sports, K9 law enforcement as well as elite K9 assault teams. I then adapted their training to my field, which was producing functional results in everyday life - but at the highest level possible.

 

I then added my own innovations in the field of Executive Protection Dog training to create an international business known for our "highly trained exclusive companions". 

 

The same focus that created an international clientele in the field of Executive Protection Dogs is what has made Naked Dog Training such a success: functional results at the highest level possible. We do so regardless of breed, age or severity of problems.

 

One other aspect of our training that stands out is a dog’s perspective. We are quite proud of being all about dogs loving both the process of learning and obeying, and enjoying the spirit of freedom in everything we do. 

Whether complete off-leash control, or solving problems like reaactivity, we consistently change lives of both dogs, and their owners.

RightStart™: Dog Training Program 

for Adopted Shelter and Rescue Dogs

Adopted shelter and rescue dogs have very specific needs right from day 1. If you want to avoid problems, instill confidence, learn to be a good leader and create a life that's enjoyable for both your dog and family, RightStart™ is the place to begin.

For shelter and rescue dogs previously adopted we adapt our Fundamentals, Fundamentals Plus, Life's an Adventure and Aggressive Dog Training to their unique needs.

Life's and Adventure - Prepare for it!

How Would Our Dog Training Improve Your Dog, and Your Life Together?

Complete off-leash control isn't just about what you could do with your dog when walking through your neighborhood, or out in public. Your dog lives most of his or her life off-leash in your home. Impeccable manners and complete off-leash control matters in your everyday life. Our unique approach insures both you and your dog are living your best life.

Are you frustrated with your dog? Have you already looked for solutions with professional dog training only to be disappointed. We understand, and hear this all the time. That is why we turned this issue into Naked Dogism #1.
