REACTIVITY BEHAVIOR
At K9 Kamp, we understand the challenges that come with a reactive dog. Reactivity, characterized by overreactions to specific stimuli like other dogs, strangers, or loud noises, can make walks stressful and home life difficult. Our expert trainers are here to help. Through our specialized training programs, we focus on desensitizing your dog to these triggers while teaching them alternative, calm behaviors.
Understanding Reactivity
In addition to desensitization, we emphasize teaching alternative behaviors that promote calmness and self-control. Through balanced training methods, we guide your dog toward more appropriate responses to triggering stimuli. Whether it’s by redirecting their attention or offering gentle guidance, we equip your dog with the skills they need to navigate the world confidently.
Our trainers understand that reactivity is a complex issue that requires patience, consistency, and expertise. That’s why we’re committed to supporting both you and your dog every step of the way. We provide comprehensive training sessions, ongoing guidance, and personalized support to ensure lasting results.
Our Approach to Reactivity
Our approach begins with a thorough assessment of your dog’s triggers and behaviors. Understanding the root cause of your dog’s reactivity allows us to tailor a training plan that addresses their specific needs. By gradually increasing exposure while ensuring your dog feels safe and supported, we can help them overcome their reactive tendencies.

The primary tool that we use is the e-Collar, as, in our experience, has proven to deliver the best results. The e-Collar, by avoiding any delay between the offense and the correction, prevents confusion and uncertainty in dogs about what is expected from them. It also avoids the emotional stress to persons or pets that physical punishment often incurs. E-collars meet the stringent standards of professionals who are deeply concerned about the health and safety of the animals they work with. Unlike most traditional “shock collars” e-Collars use a form of stimulus that targets the neck muscles of the dog, mimicking the training methods of their mother. The latest technology allows for a wide pulse stimulation that provides a muscle reflex response rather than the jerking response found in the narrow pulse stimulation systems of old-style ‘shock’ collars. Our first concern is the best interest of the dog, and we feel that E-Collar Technologies provides the best and safest training collar.
Dogs with a serious bite history of either people or other dogs are often not a good fit for our programs. That is not to say that we do not work with them but we do so on a case by case basis. About 50% of the dogs we work with do nip, jump, or otherwise scare people, and these issues are not what are being referred to here. It is dogs who have actually bitten to hurt someone or attacked another dog and caused wounds that we will most likely be unable to assist. If you are wondering if your dog is a good fit for our programs, please contact us. We can arrange a time to meet so that we can better evaluate your dog.
Determining the perfect program for your dog can be a challenging decision, as our programs are not solely focused on training your dog. At K9 Kamp, we prioritize your ongoing success with your dog, and each program offers different options to provide more time and attention to coaching your family. While every dog can thrive in any of our programs, each level offers a unique approach in terms of direct engagement with you.
To ensure the best match, we require a phone consultation for our training programs. This allows us to understand your specific needs and tailor the right program for you. Give us a call today, and let’s embark on this rewarding journey together!
