11am Weekend Social Skills for Hounds

Service Description

NEW WEEKEND SOCIAL SKILLS FOR HOUNDS COURSE! Greyhounds and all other sighthound breeds welcome! Is your dog struggling to greet other dogs appropriately? Do you need some extra support with teaching your dog about new environments and helping them adapt? Is your dog reactive to other dogs and you need a safe space to learn how to manage and work them through this? This is the class for you! Only 3 dogs per class, in a safe, indoor and enclosed daycare location - with barriers between each dog to ensure they are not overwhelmed or triggered by the other dogs before they are ready. This is a class designed to build your nervous, anxious or reactive dog's confidence in new environments and teach them how to exist around other dogs - a skill that can be very hard for them! We work on: - Teaching emotional regulation for our dogs, teaching them how to relax around triggers - Creating positive associations with other dogs - Teaching your dog how to appropriately greet other dogs (if they are able to do so within the 6 week time frame) - Teaching you how to handle your reactive or anxious dog and prevent rehearsal of undesirable behaviours - Building your hound's confidence in a new environments - and much more! The total class price includes: - Small class size: only 3 dogs per class to ensure dogs do not feel overwhelmed - 6 week class: one weekend class per week commitment - Shorter class length to avoid overstimulation/burn out for our hounds - Training booklet providing all the exercises we covered during the class emailed to you at the beginning of the class - Ongoing support from your trainer during business hours if required
