This class is for dogs that react to people and other dogs by barking, lunging, shutting down and are distressed. Having a dog that is on constant alert and anxious is hard on the owners and the dog. In this class, we will focus on better understanding of your dog's reactivity, how to communication with your dog and we will teach coping skills and desensitizing your dog with positive reinforcement.

Class does not address resource guarding and may not be suitable if that is your main problem.

PLEASE NOTE: NO DOGS FIRST CLASS! And, it is critically important that you attend the first night of class! The first night of class will be held at 6 pm for both classes.

This 12 week class is fantastic for improving your dog’s level of impulse control by teaching your dog to relax when something stimulating, unpredictable, or unexpected occurs. When your dog understands the basic exercise and is able to remain relaxed in response to each of the distractions listed in the individual sections, the exercise can then be adapted for use during many other situations such as front door greetings, exposure to stimulating events, relaxing around other dogs, etc.

We will be using Dr. Karen Overall’s Relaxation Protocol
