IMPULSE CONTROL
CLASS DESCRIPTION
Does your dog have trouble focusing on you out in public, especially in the presence of other people or other dogs?

Throughout this class, you will learn different ways to engage your dog in a way that brings the focus back to you, set necessary boundaries and limitations as well as beginning to behave more appropriately in public. Please keep in mind that these exercises and behaviors will need to be practiced on a routine basis and in many different scenarios and locations over a great length of time in order to see significant improvement on a daily basis. This class is meant to give you a strong launching point to achieve success down the road.
