If your dog has issues with other dogs or people, he may not be appropriate for a group class with other dogs and families.  We also offer private lessons and occasionally semi-private small classes to help you get the help you need to learn to understand and help your dog.

Not sure if your dog is appropriate for a group class?  Email Cathy Fox to schedule a pre-class evaluation consult here.

Most aggressive/reactive responses are based on fear.  Some are the result of a poor start in life, lack of early socialization, or a traumatic experience, often coupled with nervous temperament.  Some dogs have a low threshold for arousal and ramp up quickly into defensive aggression while others spook and flee.  Cautious and fearful dogs may shut down or crumple into a trembling heap.  We have trainers to help you help your dog learn to feel safer, build confidence, and have a better quality of life.
