Anxious/Excited Dog Training Class
In Person or Online
Put Your Dog to Work, and Reduce Fears, Overarousal, and More
If you could fast track building your dog's progress, would it make life easier for you?
Would you like to experience a community of dog parents with challenging dogs?
What to Expect with the Anxious/Excited Dog Training Class
Dogs process the world with their noses the way we do with our eyes.
They also thrive when they can predict what will happen next.
You'll be amazed how well dogs can process their stressors, and build positive experiences when shown how to do simple searches for scents, items, or people.
This is a fun and informal scentwork class, designed to help dogs overcome overexcited, anxious, or reactive behaviors in a safe, semi-controlled environment.
We also incorporate pattern games, self regulation exercises, and more, to give your dog predictability so they know how to respond.
There are no formal nosework rules in this class, and it is appropriate for over-excited, anxious, fearful, and reactive dogs.
The activities are catered to each individual dog for maximum progress.
There are no more than 4 dogs per class.

"I have an adolescent, high energy dog. I wanted to learn how to have an enjoyable walk when other dogs are nearby. Kelley assessed Sadie during class and recommended methods that would work with her. I am very pleased because I already see an improvement with our leashed walks. Kelley understands dog thinking and behavior. I highly recommend taking a class with Kelley"
