Our Prickly Pooch Class can help your reactive dog!

Does your dog bark, growl, and/or lunge while on leash? Do they have a hard time meeting or being around other dogs/people? Or maybe they are so fearful that they refuse to interact with other dogs/people. If you’ve started nodding your head, then this is the class for you!

Our Prickly Pooch Class covers:
- Confidence building games
- How to engage and disengage
- Relaxation protocol
- Strengthening Loose Leash Walking skills and automatic eye contact
- Practicing calm excitement
- Responding well to counter conditioning

We designed this class to help you help your dog by managing thresholds and environments and give you tools to help your dog learn how to cope with the outside world so that you can comfortably walk your dog successfully on a leash.

It is our goal to help you understand the why behind your dog’s behavior and coach you through how to help him/her be more successful when out and about. Our strategic setup includes a lot of space and visual barriers, which allow us to provide an environment where your sensitive dog can feel safe and learn. We will guide you through exercises that will promote alternative behaviors to their reactivity or avoidance.
