    Ep 30. Holistic Approach to Reactivity with Dante Camacho About this episode Dante joins me on the podcast to discuss his holistic program for dogs who show reactivity type behaviours, including lundging barking and growling. When we consider the difficulties in working with dogs who show reactive behaviours, particularly in the difficult shelter or rescue environment, we know it can be a big challenge. In this episode we discuss how we can set our dogs and care givers up for success, where we use a range of exercises and adjustments both in the presence of and away from the triggers to help move towards improvement in behavioural health. Dante lets us in to the key elements of his program and the reasons he found these important and useful when working with reactive dogs. About Dante Dante Camacho is a professional dog trainer, international presenter and has been involved in dog training since 1998, this quickly became a passion and took him to a never-ending adventure (including leaving college to become a full time dog trainer) of constant learning. He was one of the first to introduce the use of clicker training in Brazil, "I was fascinated by the tool and all that I was able to accomplish with my dogs very early in my career", and went on to work with dog owners privately for the first years of his dog training career. In 2000 he fell in love with dog sports and started teaching his own dogs in agility and freestyle. In agility he became a reference in positive training in Brazil, teaching seminars, being cited in magazines, websites and numerous TV appearances. he ended up representing Brazil in 4 FCI Agility World Championships as well as 2 European Open and 2 America’s & Caribbean. In freestyle (Dog Dancing) he performed initially in Brazil, first in dog shows but soon in TV shows and fairs, he became a member of the Superdogs Team (Canada) and performed his Dancing routines in shows throughout the country and also in the USA. Dante is an invited teacher at Rio Preto University where he teaches dog behaviour and training for the post graduate degree course on "Animal Behaviour and Well being". He's an online instructor with several online courses (all in Portuguese so far, sorry....) available on his platform with over a thousand students, ranging from professional dog trainers to committed dog owners.
