QUICK ANSWER

What Is the Leash Reactivity Intensive?

Are you tired of apologizing for your dog's behavior? Are you looking for the perfect place to watch your dog while you're out of town? Are you looking for a place to drain your dog's energy while improving its socialization? With 100+ years of combined dog training experience, and 55,000+ dogs trained, we have seen it all. Whatever your needs, let Partners Dog School join you on the journey to a delightful relationship with your dog.

What's Included in the Intensive

Fourteen nights focused on one problem — no diluted curriculum, no waiting between sessions.

Threshold-distance exposure work — calm dog observing trigger from a safe distance

Threshold-Based Exposure

Your dog meets triggers at the distance they can stay under threshold, then we close the gap a step at a time. No flooding. No setbacks that erase progress. Just measurable wins, daily.

Trainer walking a previously reactive dog on a real neighborhood sidewalk

Daily Real-World Walks

Training happens where the problem happens — neighborhood walks, parking lots, sidewalks, pet-friendly retail. Skills earned in a sterile room don't transfer. Skills earned on real walks do.

Owner-handoff lesson — handler practicing the post-graduation walking pattern with their dog

Owner Handoff Lessons

Two private lessons with you holding the leash, plus a written handling plan. Reactivity returns when handlers revert to old habits — we teach you what to do instead.

Common Questions

The intensive is right for dogs whose primary issue is on-leash reactivity — lunging, barking, spinning toward triggers. If your dog also has separation anxiety, resource guarding, in-home destruction, or other behavior problems, Behavior Camp addresses the full picture. If there's a bite history, see Aggression Rehabilitation. We'll be honest on the call about which fits.

Yes — every intensive enrollment starts with PD360 because the protocol is built around your dog's specific triggers, threshold distance, and history. Without that data we'd be guessing, and we don't do that. PD360 also lets us tell you honestly if a different program is the better answer (it sometimes is). Book PD360 at pd360-assessment and we'll route from there.

No trainer who is honest with you will promise that. Two weeks is enough to change the underlying response pattern and give you a handle-able dog on real walks. Maintaining and extending the change requires you to follow the handling plan we send home — most regressions we see happen when handlers stop using it.

Pricing starts at $3,879 and includes the full 14 nights of board-and-train, daily threshold walks, the two owner handoff lessons, a written take-home handling plan, and one week of post-graduation check-ins. PD360 assessment is billed separately because it precedes enrollment. Confirm current pricing on your sales call — we'll quote you in writing before you decide.

Because we're solving one problem instead of many. Every session, every walk, every minute of training is focused on the same outcome. For dogs whose only major issue is leash reactivity, that focus produces faster results than a broader curriculum.
