What’s Included
Who is this class for?
This class is for those super excited puppies or dogs that just can’t help themselves when approaching a person. For example, jumping on you when you get home. Or jumping on visitors to the home, or people passing by in the street. This is for those super-friendly dogs that just LOVE people!
Please note this is NOT for dogs that are fear reactive, or protective, or displaying any aggressive behaviour towards strangers. If you have any doubts, please contact Mark prior to booking.
What will you learn?
You will learn the basic concept involved in changing this behaviour, and why previous attempts may have been unsuccessful. You will be given specific exercises to practice at home and while on walks. These exercises will be explained, then practiced during the class with other students.
What do you need to bring to class?
- Your dog should be wearing a well-fitting collar or harness.
- A flat lead, preferably around 2 metres long.
- Treats or a chew object to keep them entertained while we are talking.
- Please wear appropriate clothing, as you are very likely to be jumped on by other dogs as part of the training.
- Because this training involves jumpy dogs, it may not be suitable for smaller family members (e.g. under 10 years old).
The following are NOT permitted:
- Check chains (choke chains)
- Prong collars, or any training device designed to cause pain or discomfort to the dog.
- Head halters (e.g. Haltis)
- Bungy leads
- Retractable leads (e.g. Flexi-leads)
