PLEASE NOTE:
Saturday, October 17
9:30-10:45 AM
Sometimes the challenge isn’t getting your dog to do something, it’s helping them learn when it’s okay to simply settle.
Does your dog pace or demand attention when you’re trying to relax? Have trouble settling when guests visit? Struggle to switch off when you bring them along to a restaurant, gathering or other dog-friendly outing?
Our Settle & Calm Behavior Workshop gives you and your dog hands on practice with skills designed to encourage calmer behavior, better self control and improved focus around everyday distractions. You’ll work directly with your dog while our trainer helps you understand what to practice, when to use it and how to continue building the skill at home.
Practice techniques that can help your dog:
