Proactive About Reactivity
Does your dog bark or react on leash—or even when watching the world from the window? Our adult dog reactivity program near Capitol Hill, Seattle is designed to help you better understand your dog’s behavior, interpret their body language, and build their confidence in everyday situations.
We begin with a humans-only orientation to cover the fundamentals and set you and your dog up for success. From there, you can choose the format that works best for you—weekly in-person classes, bi-weekly virtual sessions, private lessons, or a combination of options.
As your dog grows more comfortable and skilled, you’ll have the opportunity to join our “meet ups” and “walk & play” sessions, giving you both the chance to practice in real-life environments.
Cost
Four Session Package: $220 (expires after three months)
Three Session Plus One Private Training Session Package: $305 (expires after three months)
Levels Program
In our Levels Classes, dogs develop the essential skills needed to become calm, confident, and well-behaved companions in everyday life. We focus on real-world manners like sit, down, stay, place, and polite leash walking—even with distractions like people and other dogs nearby. Dogs also practice greeting others appropriately, ignoring distractions on walks, coming when called, and staying relaxed during handling or grooming. We incorporate confidence-building exercises as well, helping dogs feel more comfortable with being alone and with unexpected noises so they can navigate the world with ease. It’s an excellent option for dogs working toward their Canine Good Citizen (CGC) or simply striving to be their best selves.
Our Levels program is designed with flexibility in mind! With a membership, you can attend classes as often as you’d like and move forward at a pace that suits you and your dog. If your schedule gets hectic or you want to spend extra time on a specific skill, you can drop in whenever it works best. All levels are included, giving you the freedom to continue learning and progressing on your own timeline.

Single Class: $50 (Additional pricing options available when you create your Paw Partner Account)
