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.

In this six week course, we will explore a myriad of activities based on reward based dog training as well as the Tellington TTouch® method to build your dog’s confidence and increase his/her well being. Together we will develop a dog that is a thinking dog instead of a reacting dog. Your dog will develop trust, self-awareness and how to cope with a constantly changing environment. As a result he/she will learn to respond to novel situations with curiosity instead of fear. This course is ideal for dogs with mild fears or lack overall confidenc

RECALL - ROOOOOVER COOOOOME!!!

2010-04-15T03:48:00.008-06:00

Five-week class, Sunday 11am - 12n

Dates: March 25, April 1, 8, 15, and 22

Open to 4 dogs and their handlers

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

Fee: $135 + tax

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.

Some of the most fun reasons for having a dog in our lives is to watch them do what they do best: Run at full speed, chase balls or swim, play off leash with other dogs and .... having our dogs come to us when we need them to do so!

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).
