Here is a little blurb on the course:

Easy to teach, force-free, effective foundation skills that make a profound difference for reactive dogs.

Trainers around the world face the challenge of helping reactive dogs find a more comfortable way to be in the world. It is a complicated challenge that requires a trainer’s toolbox with a variety of techniques.

This course provides trainers with the Relationship Centered Training tools to make a difference in the lives of reactive dogs and their handlers while deepening the dog/handler relationship in a humane and effective approach.

Dogs and handlers both build skills that go far past CC/DS (counter-conditioning and desensitzation) to create new options of response and practical coping skills.

Each of these foundational RCT skills promotes improved handler observation skills, awareness of the dog’s thresholds, recognition of body language and behaviors that signal arousal shifts, and identification of training situation vs. management moments.

For the dog, these skills are based in volition and agency, with the benefits of self modulation, authentic relaxation, social interaction and clear communication carrying into real life application.

Additionally, each skill can be practiced using positively arousing stimuli to develop fluency prior to the presentation of triggering stimuli.
