What's Covered In the Workshop
Get Ready To Learn!
Handling a reactive dog can feel overwhelming, leaving you lost and helpless. One of Antonio’s biggest priorities (besides working directly with your dog) is helping you build your confidence through a system of practical steps and handling techniques—customized to fit your unique situation.
This workshop uses real-world experiences, not just theory, to give you the knowledge, skills, and hands-on experience needed to navigate your dog’s reactivity successfully.
Below, you'll find the key topics and strategies covered in the workshop. Every point is designed to help you gain better control, improve your dog’s behavior, and feel more confident in any situation. Some topics may be adjusted based on the needs of the group to ensure you get the most out of the experience.
Focus & Attention Exercises
Learn how to help your dog to disengage with triggers and engage with you, as well as teach them to ignore triggers and focus on you in distracting environments.
Counter-Conditioning
Your dog is conditioned to react a certain way to triggers. By pairing triggers with positive experiences—like affection, play, or food—you can reshape their response into something calmer and more desirable.
Desensitization & Exposure
Avoiding triggers is common, but controlled exposure during the workshop—combined with what you’ll learn—helps desensitize your dog and make triggers more manageable.
When To Allow Observation
Allowing observation is an important part of behavior modification. You can't avoid triggers because its not realistic, but you shouldn't correct your dog just for looking at a trigger. Learn the difference between observation and locking on.
How To Let Them Make Decisions
It's easy to get caught up in the act of trying to prevent your dog from doing the wrong thing, that often, people don't allow for neutral or even desireable behavior. Learn how to teach your dog to make their own choices in the presence of triggers

How To Give Corrections
Learn when and how to use corrections effectively to set boundaries and discourage unwanted behavior. Done right, corrections aid training—done wrong, they can cause bigger issues, even aggression.
How To Use Food
Food is a power motivator and reinforcer. But misusing it can easily worsen reactivity. Learn the difference between bribing and rewarding your dog to avoid reinforcing unwanted behavior.
How To Use Play
Play is a powerful motivator that strengthens your bond and helps your dog tune out triggers. Learn to use play effectively, making training fun while becoming your dog’s favorite teammate!
How To Use Obedience
While obedience isn’t the main focus, teaching your dog to hold a sit or down stay around triggers builds focus, reinforces calmness, and provides a reliable alternative to reactive behavior.
Take the First Step Toward a More Confident, In-Control Life With Your Dog
Reactivity doesn’t have to define your dog—or your daily life. With the right guidance, hands-on training, and proven techniques, you can turn frustration into progress.
✅ Gain real-world skills
✅ Build confidence in handling your dog
✅ Create a calmer, more manageable life together

Dogs That May Not Be the Best Fit for This Workshop
We would love to help every dog, but some dogs need a different approach or in-home training. Contact us if your dog is like any of those mentioned below
Extremely Fearful Dogs – While we work with many fearful reactive dogs, those who are terrified, completely avoid people & other dogs, shut down, or try to flee may need a more individualized approach.
Dogs Reactive Only at Home – This workshop focuses on reactivity in public settings. If your dog only reacts inside the home, in-home training would be more effective.
Puppies Under 6 Months – Younger pups are still developing and learning. We recommend waiting a little longer before joining this workshop.
If you're unsure whether this workshop is right for your dog, reach out—we’re happy to help guide you toward the best option!

"I've followed Antonio since we got our dog about 3 years ago and learned a lot from his posts. I can only say he's even nicer in person. His patience and ability to sense what you and your dog needs is amazing. He gives clear direction and helps you understand what you need to do and why you want to. He was able to address every person in the group one-on-one and we all learned from everyone else's interactions with him. I could not have asked for more from our training with him, it far surpassed our expectations and we are already seeing improvement in how we're handling our pup and the results. It's a 10 out of 10 with Antonio."

"Leader of the Pack hands down provides the best training for you and your dog! Antonio’s expertise and genuine love for dogs was evident from the start, and the fact that other dog trainers also came to observe his classes, speaks VOLUMES of his skills. Antonio provided me with clear and effective training techniques that have already begun transforming my dog’s behavior. Attending his classes and his recommendations of proper training tools (and teaching me how to use them) have given me all the confidence I need to continue my dog’s training. I highly recommend Leader of the Pack to anyone looking for top-notch dog training! Also, Leyla is the sweetest to work with as well!"

"Antonio is absolutely amazing! He empowers you, the owner. He teaches you the tools you need to train, correct, and reward your dog. Antonio is patient, and thorough, and will detail a customized training plan for you and your dog. My dog, Tommy Bunz, was leash reactive. With Antonio’s help, Tommy was successfully able to walk next to another dog without reacting. I was so happy, I was moved to tears. If you put in the work, you will see progress in no time. I highly recommend Leader of the Pack for your training needs."
Taryn S.
"Antonio was the best trainer I ever worked with! I have tried a few with my reactive dog and was always more discouraged. He has changed my life and the relationship I have with my reactive dog. We worked on her reactivity on walks with other dogs, people moving fast, bikes, birds…. Everything. Every walk we go on continues to build our relationship and I cannot thank Antonio enough. 💙"
