  • Feisty Fido – If you have a dog who is barking and lunging at other dogs while on leash, you are not alone. It’s a very common behavior problem, even if the same dog gets along well with others OFF leash. It is also a problem with a high rate of successful treatment. This is a 6 week course  where we concentrate on leash reactivity using a combination of LAT “Look at That” and BAT “Behavior Adjustment Training”. Classes are outdoors at a variety of locations. First session is without dogs so you can learn about body language and the 2nd session you practice with the trainer’s dogs. After the 6 session course bi-weekly practice for 2 months is included. Only 2 students per course.
