This program is right for you if: You’re avoiding unpredictable situations where your dog might react poorly. Your dog’s behavior scares you, and you don’t know where to start. You’ve hit a plateau and feel like your dog is not improving. You need a safe and supportive space to gain confidence and build skills. The aim of this program is to give you a better life with your dog. Learn why your dog is showing these reactive behaviors and how you can start to predict them before they happen. You and your dog will benefit from challenges in environments that are predictable, supportive, and safe. This program will work for teams that are new to training, currently working with one of our trainers, or working hard at home to improve their dog's behavior. You’ll gain confidence through observational learning, structured practice of skills in a class setting, and learning new strategies to use at home that open up worlds of opportunity for you and your dog. This program takes place over the course of two months. The human partner of each team will attend an in-person class each week with their dog in attendance every other week. During the weeks your dog is not in attendance, you will build observational skills and support the other teams. Online homework with additional instructor support will be offered each week.
