Reactive, Fearful, and Aggressive Behavior:
A Fresh Perspective and New Ways to
Understand and Help Our Animal Companions
Transform Your Understanding of Reactive, Fearful, and Aggressive Behavior in Dogs
Are you a pet parent or trainer struggling to help a dog with reactivity, fear, or aggression? You’re not alone—and there is a way forward.
Join Dr. Sean Will and Maasa Nishimuta for a powerful online course that’s helping people around the world rethink what it really means when dogs behave this way. Using a behavior-analytic approach, you’ll gain a deeper, science-based understanding of these challenging behaviors — not just as problems to fix, but as communication we can learn from.
Online Class Description
Through 10 online classes and 5 additional support meetings, we will break down critical variables related to reactivity, fear, and aggression, and teach you steps to create compassionate, customized training plans that support both the dog’s emotional needs and the training goals.
You will learn how to ask questions to our dogs to determine what they want through these challenging behaviors, how to create training programs in an errorless manner, how to shape behavior with multiple kinds of reinforcers (distance, access to humans, access to other animals, etc.), and the ethics behind working with reactive, fearful, or aggressive behaviors. During classes, we will review real case studies and play fun games to exercise the new concepts learned in the classes. We will also offer 5 learning lounge meetings, where you can ask any questions from the classes and discuss!
Whether you're a seasoned professional or a devoted pet parent, this course will give you the tools and insights you need to make lasting progress—and build a stronger, more trusting relationship with your dog.
