This 6-week course is designed to support dogs who struggle with big feelings on leash—whether that shows up as barking, lunging, or overexcitement.
You and your dog will have the opportunity to practice in a controlled environment with 3–6 other dogs and their handler(s) at different training levels.
We’ll focus on:
✔️ Clearer communication between you and your dog
✔️ Training games & activities to reduce reactivity
✔️ Building confidence & coping strategies for calmer walks
Our curriculum is rooted in positive reinforcement and backed by science—helping you and your dog make lasting progress together.
A portion of proceeds supports the MD SPCA’s community efforts.

This class is open to guardians with a dog who has recognizable triggers while out on a walk.
A trigger can be anything that sparks an extreme response—other dogs, people, bikes, cars, or even unexpected sounds. If your dog reacts strongly on leash, this class is designed for you.
This course has a minimum enrollment of 3 dogs. If the minimum is not met, we reserve the right to cancel the class. In the event of a cancellation due to low enrollment, all registered students will be notified by one week before the start date and will receive a 100% refund of all fees paid.
When conditions make it unsafe for our dogs to be outside, classes may take place virtually.
Notification: You’ll receive an email 3 hours before class with a Google Meet link if we move online.
Possible conditions: temperatures below 30°, torrential rain, significant ice, etc.
Our goal: hold class in person whenever possible—but we know learning happens best when dogs are comfortable.
Please reach out directly if you have any concerns or accommodations regarding virtual learning.
