Dog-Harmony, a dog rescue and education organization in Santa Rosa Beach, will host Debbie Revell, Animal Behaviorialist of Pets Behave Dog Training on July 13th from 9am - 12:30pm. Join Debbie as she presents "Calming Dog Reactivity," part two of a three-part educational series.

Calming Dog Reactivity will focus on dogs that are over-reactive or aggressive around other dogs and highlight the difference between behavior modification and training. Debbie will discuss reasons why a dog may develop a behavior problem and the keys to working with a reactive dog. You will understand how ‘trigger stacking’ can lead to an aggressive event. In order to help your young dogs develop into confident, well-adjusted pets Debbie will discuss strategies to “bomb-proof” your dog. Videos and case studies will be presented.

Dog-Harmony, Inc. is a volunteer-run, non-profit organization, made up of passionate and determined problem-solving dog lovers who want to make a difference using personalized and ongoing education, support, and training for people and dogs.

They take the hard work and emotional stress out of choosing the right dog by initially having you answer a questionnaire based on the ASPCA "Meet Your Match" program, discussing your needs with you and proposing only breeds that are right for you. Then they will suggest available dogs currently awaiting homes from local kill shelters or in situations where they need rehousing and will also work with you through the training process.

Ultimately, their goal is the same as yours and the same as your prospective new friend—to match the right home with the right dog.
