Positive Solutions for the Building Blocks of Behavior (VIRTUAL)

Here are some questions and thoughts to ask yourself…

• Is your dog reactive when out on walks?
• Fearful of new places, people, or sounds?
• Anxious when riding in the car?
• Does your dog growl, bark, or lunge towards others if they come near you?
• Do you want to learn from the comfort of your own home?

If you said yes to ANY of these questions then the virtual class is for you.

This is a class that teaches the FOUNDATION SKILLS that every dog needs. It consists of four one-hour sessions that meet weekly on the same day/time. Each class focuses on a different topic while building upon the previous one.

• Class size limited to FOUR
• NEW CLASSES BEGIN every two weeks making it EASY to get started!

GREEN Class Focus - The Thinking Dog

A dog that runs up and SITS to greet you instead of jumping is a Thinking Dog!

A dog that can cope and not react when there are sudden changes in the environment is a Thinking Dog!

When dogs are taught a skill called “shaping” they become better problem solvers and will begin to think about how to earn rewards. Shaping behavior is simply a very easy and incredibly effective way to teach – it allows you to help your dog learn without having to use force or corrections.

This class will focus on the foundation of how to shape a behavior. Whether a dog is pushy or shy, bold or fearful, shaping will help them learn how to handle life’s stimulating or worrisome times and become more confident.
