Confidence + Composure Dog Training Program

Confidence and Composure: A Safe Learning Environment for the Socially Challenged Dog

Do any of these behaviours describe your dog?

• Lunging, Barking, Growling
• Intense, over-reaction to ordinary things
• Nervous or Scared
• Worried or Fearful
• Submissive

Our Confidence & Composure program is a unique and comprehensive program that addresses “aggressive” behaviours displayed by your dog.

Dogs that are overly reactive and “aggressive” are often nervous or scared. They need to build their confidence when faced with what they perceive as a “scary thing” and learn new behaviours at the same time.

“Urban life is a reality for a lot of dogs today. Walking calmly on leash is a basic requirement for their everyday lives. Walking our dog is one of the reasons we have them in the first place and it’s supposed to be fun. I want all dog owners to experience a calm and relaxed walk.”

If any of these statements describe you:

• Do you avoid meeting other dogs or people?
• Are you adjusting your walk time or routine just to avoid running into “stuff” that will upset your dog?
• Are you at the end of your leash?

Then Confidence & Composure is the place for you!

Start today …peaceful and relaxing walks are within your grasp.

Step 1: Book an initial Assessment and let the training begin.

Here we sit down and clearly define your goals and expectations with your dog. We then begin to create a management/ training plan to achieve these goals.

Step 2: Join a training program.

• Follow your plan. At your pace. On your schedule.
• Get the support and training you need to succeed.
• One on one training will guide and support you in achieving your goals
• Learn how to teach your dog the skills you will need
• Learn to read and understand your dog
• Gain confidence, learn to be proactive instead of reactive
• Understand how leash handling affects your dog’s behaviour
• Learn how to create positive associations for your dog to start to change response to stimuli
