Is (re)Activity Right For My Dog?

Our (re)Activity program is designed for dogs who have a primary behavior focus of over-excitement or fear of people/dogs and deal with it by barking and lunging or freezing and hiding. It also includes dogs who are generally friendly but struggle with leash or barrier-related issues (barking & other behaviors).

If your dog experiences high levels of anxiety, shows reluctance in consuming treats in unfamiliar surroundings, or has a history of biting, this class may not be suitable for you at this time. We offer excellent private coaching and in-home options that might better suit your dog's current needs, including the possibility of a trainer's dog attending to provide canine distractions. After private coaching some dogs are able to move on to group class successfully.

If you still aren't sure if this program is right for you, please contact us to determine the most appropriate starting point for you and your dog.

Brave Dog Program

Is Brave Dog Right For My Dog?

Our Brave Dog Program is designed for dogs who are shy, cautious, hesitant, or lack confidence. Some examples of this behavior could be unwillingness to approach people, startling at noises, avoiding certain areas or surfaces out of fear, and many more (this is by no means a complete list, and other scenarios may make your dog a great candidate for the Brave Dog program).

If your dog shows reluctance in consuming treats in unfamiliar surroundings or is reactive (bark/lunge) towards people or dogs, your dog's behavior will be best addressed through private coaching.
