Developing the Confident Dog
In an effort to understand their dogs, guardians might label their dog's behavior as “hyper, “stubborn”, “dominant" or “aggressive." The reality is that an overall lack of confidence or shear fear is most likely the underlining factor for their behavior. As the guardians of these dogs will attests, living with a fearful dog or one
that lacks confidence is a challenge.

Instructor: Almudena Ortiz Cue, M.A. CPDT-KA, Tellington TTouch Practioner

Dogs must be dog friendly and comfortable working in close proximity of other dogs.
Us of a harness (back clip preferable) for session 4 and 5.
In this semi-private course you will learn techniques that, when practiced with consistency, will teach your dog to mind you in all sorts of distracting environments. You will also learn how to use your dog's natural behavior, such as chasing, to your advantage. Your dog will learn to "check in" with you more in new and fun environments and to be more responsive to your cues for attention and play.
As a result of our work together during the course and your practice outside of class, you both will become more of a team in off-leash adventures - instead of YOU having to worry if Rover will come back to you!
The first three classes will be held in the classroom. For sessions 4 and 5, we will meet as a group at an off-leash location so we can practice what we've learned in the classroom. The first class is a people only orientation (no dogs please).
