Are You Tired of Your Dog Over Reacting to Their Environment?
Do you feel like you have to be on guard every time you walk your dog? Do they lunge, bark, startle, shy away, or pull towards other dogs, people, objects, or critters? Does your dog get locked in staring at things or refuse to walk with you?
Do you dream of taking your dog for a walk that's relaxing for both of you?
We can help!
Force-Free Dog Training in Ottawa Ontario
We specialize in helping dogs with big feelings such as reactive dogs, fearful dogs, and excited dogs - all without using intimidation, force, or fear to motivate them.
Reactive Dogs
Does your dog bark and lunge when they see a dog or a squirrel or a bus? Do they sometimes manage to hold it together at a distance but as the trigger gets closer, they lose all composure?
With the help of a few foundation skills, we can teach your dog to turn to you for guidance instead of reacting outwardly.
Imagine: they see a squirrel and they turn to look at you. Or they see a bus and they sit to watch it go by.
Fearful Dogs
Does your dog cower in fear or try to run away? Do they growl in discomfort when they cannot avoid their triggers?
With the help of Scary = Snacks, we can teach your dog to expect good things when they notice something they find scary.
Picture this instead: your dog sees that scary plastic bag and they sit to watch it. Or they get barked at and instead of responding, they shake it off, and keep walking.
Excited Dogs
Does your dog get absolutely bonkers excited when they see their favourite friend? Do they think that every person, dog, squirrel, or ball is their new personal bestie?
Whether they jump around or pancake to the ground, we can help them keep their marbles.
What if your dog saw their best friend and sat to ask to get closer? What if they start to get excited but are still able to respond to you and calm down?
