our methodology
Understand the Dog
We focus on what the dog is communicating—behavior, stress, environment—
so we can respond in a way that actually helps
​​
Build Real-World Stability
This isn’t about commands or quick fixes. It’s about helping dogs learn how to
function, cope, and make better decisions in real-life situations
​​
Positive, Choice-based Reinforcement
We help dogs build confidence and make better choices through thoughtful
exposure, desensitization, and positive reinforcement

Living with a reactive dog can be stressful.
Whether your dog barks and lunges on leash or
reacts behind a fence, it can feel overwhelming and isolating.
​
pranaDOGS’ two-part Reactive Dog Workshop is designed to give you practical tools and real-world confidence — for both you and your dog.
​
Part 1: Humans Only
In this session, we teach and demonstrate proven strategies for working with reactive dogs. We’ll cover best practices, explain why different approaches work for different dogs, and help you understand how to respond in a variety of situations.
​
Part 2: Hands on with your Pup
This hands-on session puts the strategies into practice in a controlled, supportive environment. You’ll work with your dog, build confidence together, ask questions specific to your situation, and practice alongside others who truly understand what you’re experiencing.
