Fear and Anxiety

Is your dog terrified of fireworks?  Does your dog have a melt down at the groomer or the vet?  Does your dog hide when the vaccuum is turned on?  When you try to give your dog a bath, does your dog cower? 

This course is for you.  

Learn how to countercondition and desensitize your dog to fear inducing stimuli.  Understand what is happening in your dog’s head and why your traditional approaches may not be working or worse, may be hindering the recovery process.

This is a 6 week course.   It will be composed of three lecture sessions without the dogs and three sessions with the dogs.  Cost is $250

Upon course completion owners will have developed a thorough behavior modification plan rooted in evidence based practice to help address the any of the fears their dog has.  Owners will be guided through the process of exposing your dogs to said anxiety inducing stimuli, working them well under threshold and desensitizing them to anything they fear.
