Anxious/Excited Dog Training Class

Transform Your Anxious, Reactive, or Over-Excited Dog Into A Confident Companion--harness their natural abilities to reduce fears and overarousal.
What This Class Offers:
For You and Your Dog:
Practical Skills: Learn powerful techniques that leverage your dog’s natural instincts to help them feel more secure, and give you more control.

"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"
