2-hour class - $35 per family

This class is for owners only - dogs stay home.

Does your dog ~
Grab things, show them to you and then RUN with them?
Bark AT you to be fed, played with, or for attention?
Question the rules - is sometimes selectively deaf?
Is your dog a space invader - using you and visitors as a jungle gym?
Bark at visitors? Control the neighborhood?

 

This behavior lecture is for owners of
difficult dogs who think they get to run the house.

Adolescence starts at sexual maturity in dogs as with humans. A 5-6 month old pup is like a 7th grader, beginning to have a sense of self and independence. He has opinions. He complains about the rules and sometimes talks back. By 7-9 months he is like a 16 year old, wanting a later curfew and the car keys. Your human kid will take several years to get through this stage of life; your dog will go through it in a matter of months. It only seems like an eternity! If the bossy young dog doesn't learn to follow the leader, it can become a problem adult dog.

Topics to be covered:

This class is offered once per month.

PRIVATE CONSULTS ARE AVAILABLE AND ARE
RECOMMENDED FOR OWNERS OF DOGS WITH SERIOUS ISSUES.
