*** This class is NOT for reactive dogs, such as barking & Lunging in an aggressive display or manner ***
This Science & Reward Based Training course is 3 weeks in length, 45 minutes each week. A maximum of 2 persons per dog may attend.
Every dog has it's own safe space, where it can be freely off leash, and where guardians can be relaxed and comfortable. Visual barriers, placed between each dog's area are available, as needed.
Shy, timid and fearful dogs are certainly going to have difference emotional states, (thresholds), so learning will be variable for each dog. We will be working on providing them with quality experiences, not quantity.
Our goals are:
- Learning foundation skills helping to develop mutual communication and understanding, deepening your bond.
- The importance of management, how and when, to prevent ongoing fear responses.
- The role of decompression. Just like humans, dogs need to feel well for successful learning to occur.
- Body awareness & handling
- Confidence building through exploring novel objects, surfaces, obstacles and props
- Encouraging and learning how to play together.
Location: Training Center - 305 Cedar Street, New Westminster, BC
