RAD DOGS
Rad Dogs is Hello Bully Behavior’s pilot online course, and we picked the number one problem you told us you have with your dogs - REACTIVITY. It’s great living with a perfect dog, but sometimes, we take that perfect dog out into the world and they are so triggered by other dogs or people that it’s unmanageable. Let us help you with that!
Whether you call them Re-Active Dogs, Reactive Ass Dogs, or just riders of the struggle bus - these dogs can be helped. They can do the things other dogs do, and while it might not be perfect, you can get that behavior to something more manageable, and then get out there and do the dog thing!
We are looking for a handful of families in the Pittsburgh area to participate in the pilot course. You must have access to Facebook, the ability to take and upload short videos to a Facebook group, and financial means to get the right hardware (martingale collar or harness with a back up), and provide high value treats for your dog’s training sessions. This course will begin with an online orientation and then each Sunday, you will receive the homework and instructions for the next week. You will have Hello Bully’s Behavior Coaches working with you to make sure you and your dog are staying on course, and getting the most from your lessons.
Hello Bully is deeply dedicated to using methods that are fun, and don’t rely or fear or force. We will explain more in week one, but we do ask that you agree to the following:
