Some dogs vocalize to tell us that they are scared, upset, or overly confident. This class looks to find the cause of your dog’s distress and understand it. Then we work on changing how your dog perceives things that might trigger them. The goal of this class is to develop a solid foundation of the ‘why’ so that we can start to transition your dog’s distress into calm and happiness.
