At The Training Studio, Anxiety and Reactivity is our specialty. Whether there’s reactivity to people or other dogs, our trainers have a great deal of experience in working with worried dogs who may use aggression to manage situations. These group classes can help your anxious dog build their ability to focus and build confidence. The tools learned in these classes can go a long way to helping you and your anxious and reactive pup to navigate the world.
Anxiety & Reactivity
Growly Dog
DESCRIPTION: If walking your dog has become stressful because of barking, lunging, or growling at other dogs or people, Growly Dog class can help. Get started on improving your dog’s coping skills so walks can become more enjoyable. Finding the right environment in which to train reactive or aggressive dogs poses a significant challenge even for professional dog trainers. That’s why we created our semi-private Growly Dog classes. This will be a six week class that will cover management when training isn't feasible and how to start working your dog through reactivity towards dogs and humans.
