You bring the topics, we bring the discussions and the solutions!

Need help with some of your dog's less-than-perfect habits? This open-forum class is designed to deliver pragmatic and insightful solutions, combining practical, evidence-based methods with a deep understanding of dogs, people, processes, and context to achieve results that are both attainable and sustainable. We’ll discuss teaching incompatible behaviors by training your dog to perform a positive, alternative action that cannot occur at the same time as the unwanted behavior. For example, teaching a "sit" to replace jumping.

This class will also explore when to add or remove positive and negative consequences that influence whether a behavior becomes more or less likely to occur in the future, helping you better understand the science behind effective dog training. Whether you're dealing with one specific challenge or several, this class offers practical insight and guidance to help your dog become a better housemate and companion.
