Class information:
- This class is not for dogs who have a history of and/or display aggression towards humans and does not address off-leash dog-dog interactions.
- For this course, you must plan to attend every session of class with the same handler(s) and be prepared to spend 30 minutes to an hour practicing daily homework assignments. All class attendees must be 14 years of age or older; anyone under 18 must be accompanied by a parent or guardian.
- Do not bring your dog to the first session of the 6-week class; this is a MANDATORY humans-only orientation in addition to the Behavior Basics seminar. This is a 90-minute seminar and the start time may be different than the start time of your ongoing sessions. Please check your confirmation email for details.
- This class uses positive reinforcement methods, including the use of food rewards and clicker training. Visual barriers and specially designed training exercises involving controlled exposure to other dogs are used to set your dog up for success. There will be no off-leash interaction; on-leash interaction is based on dog’s progress throughout the course.
Prefer to attend without your dog? We have a limited number of audit slots available. You will be provided with all class materials and will have the opportunity to observe, learn, and ask questions. This class is packed with valuable tips and techniques on how to work with dogs who display reactivity, aggression, and fear-based aggression in an on-leash context. This option is $145 per participant.
