Limit of 6 dogs per class  
Dogs attend all classes.

Due to the special skills taught in this class, all handlers will pay $120.00. 
There will be no member discounts for this class.


This class is designed for dogs who struggle with 'dog on dog' reactivity.
Dogs may have issues barking, lunging, jumping, over excitement or difficulty focusing.
Using the techniques inspired by Control Unleashed, handlers will learn to build dog's confidence, increase focus, and improve emotional regulation in a safe and structured environment.

This class is perfect for dogs who get overwhelmed or overstimulated around triggers.
This class provides the tools to manage reactivity and promote calmer, more controlled behavior.
