Frequently Asked Questions
What types of behaviours are considered reactive in dogs?
Reactive behaviours typically include barking, lunging, growling, or snapping in response to specific triggers such as other dogs, strangers, or loud noises. These reactions often stem from fear, frustration, or overexcitement.
How long does reactive dog training usually take?
The duration varies depending on the dog’s individual needs and the severity of reactivity. We work at a pace that suits your dog, often seeing noticeable improvements within a few weeks, with ongoing support to maintain progress.
Can reactive dog training help with separation anxiety?
While reactive dog training focuses on managing responses to external triggers, Karma K9 Thrill Behaviour Dog Training also offers specialised separation anxiety training to address distress when dogs are left alone, helping to improve overall behaviour and wellbeing.
