RAD DOGS

Rad Dogs is Hello Bully’s free course for people living with dogs who are reactive or aggressive. We all know dogs who are absolutely perfect in the home, but go out into the world and are so triggered by other dogs or people that they are unmanageable. We can help you with that!

Reactivity and aggression are not uncommon in dogs and, more times than not, we can use management and behavior modification to help turn down that temper. Many times, defensive behavior is a sign that dogs are anxious or fearful. We will help you assess and address that in this course. Dogs who are reactive/aggressive may not be perfect, but with guidance they can lead full lives, and live with more harmony in the world.

We piloted this program in Pittsburgh in 2021, and everyone who did the work got results. Now, we are expanding to a remote course to get this help to more people. This program is free, but donations are graciously accepted.

We will be meeting Sundays at noon via GoogleMeet. Sign up today and watch your inbox for course information and meeting links on July 7th.

Hello Bully is deeply dedicated to using methods that are fun, and don’t rely on fear or force. We will explain more in week one, but we do ask that you agree to the following:

The RAD DOG AGREEMENTS
1.     Keep you and your dog safe. Use humane backup hardware. We will discuss hardware in Week One.
2.     Reward good behavior and don’t be cheap.
3.     Add snacks even if you aren’t getting the behavior you want. It doesn’t hurt. 
4.     Do not forget your treat bag. If you forgot your treat bag, go back and get your treat bag.
5.     Bail your dog out of a situation that is too much.
6.     Understand your dog’s triggers, anxieties, and how your dog communicates.
7.     Gentle leash pressure is an acceptable form of communication, at a pressure of 1 out of 5. 
8.     We do not use slip leads, choke chains, prong collars or shock collars. No punishment. No corrections. If you are currently using one of these tools, you are welcome to join us and transition your dog to more modern tools. No judgement, just support.

If you feel you and your dog are a great match for this program, please fill out the form below and make sure to check your inbox and spam folders on July 7th for course links and information.
