Dogs Day Out
Join us as we head out about town to practice skills in different environments. While this class is great for the CGC Advanced title prep, our focus is helping our dogs generalize foundation skills, feel comfortable in public settings, and gain exposure to new sights and sounds. Your dog should have been introduced to and practiced the following: sit, down, place, loose leash walking.

Reactive to Resilient
This class is designed for dogs who exhibit strong behaviors, like barking or lunging, in response to environmental triggers such as other dogs or people. Reactive dogs are overwhelmed and unable to make rational choices due to fear, frustration, or conflicted emotions. Because public spaces often exacerbate these issues, dogs often lack the opportunity to learn effective coping mechanisms and experience elevated stress levels throughout their daily routine. We aim to provide a safe, controlled environment where dogs can learn new skills and create positive associations with the world around them.
Our programs begin with a virtual session to understand your dog's specific triggers and our force-free approach. This is followed by hands-on training with personalized coaching, supplemented by ongoing virtual support between in-person sessions. We prioritize building resilience, reducing stress, and equipping owners with the knowledge to confidently manage their dog's emotional state. While we hope for significant improvement, our primary goal is to make daily life easier and more enjoyable for both you and your dog, providing you with the tools to continue progress beyond the class.
