PREREQUISITE

Your dog is overreactive to dogs. 

 

If your dog is fearful of people or has bitten people or dogs and drawn blood please look to private sessions.  All people present in the room must be at least 14 years of age.

​

​

This is a class that requires your commitment to attend all sessions and commit time to work on homework items between sessions.  It is a small class where each class member is relying on the others to support their efforts with their own dogs by you working with yours.  If you are unable to commit to a class schedule please take a look at Private Sessions or delay until the class schedule aligns with yours.
