Length: 5 weeks (first class without dog)
Prerequisite: Current vaccination certificate
Class size: Max. 4 dogs per class

What we cover: Does your dog change personality when you clip on the leash? Does he suddenly bark and lunge at other dogs, bicycles, skateboarders, passersby? This common but unfortunate behavior is called "leash reactivity" and with careful training and management, you can make future leash walks much more pleasant for your dog, yourself, and everyone you meet on your way.

Take the beastliness out of your leash walks.

What we cover: Is your dog painfully shy around strangers? Does he whine, pant, cower, hide, or duck when someone tries to pet him? From mild avoidance of everyday encounters to submissive urination and terror, life can be hard for a shy or anxious dog. But your dog can learn to relax and become more confident. Find out what you can do to help your dog be more at ease.

Get a happier, calmer, less stressed dog.
