Does your dog have a problem with other dogs? Does even the sight of another dog cause your pooch to act out by barking, growling, and lunging for no reason at all? This is the class for you.
This class is designed to not only help you manage your dog around other dogs but start him on the road to rehabilitation. You will get lots of practice working with your dog around other dogs in a safe, controlled environment. The class will have two instructors and is limited to 4 dogs. Both instructors have extensive experience working with problem dogs and both are Certified Pet Dog Trainers.
The first week of this 6 week course is for the human students only. You will bring your dogs to the remaining 5 classes.
All dogs will wear a Gentle Leader head halter during class and will be desensitized to a muzzle due to the nature of this class.
Please note: This class is not appropriate for dogs that are also people aggressive. Before registering, one of the instructors will review your dog's history to make sure this class is appropriate for your dog.
Some dogs may require private lessons before starting this type of class.
