Having a dog that lacks confidence is not fun for the human or dog part of the team.  There are so many things we can do to help our dogs build confidence and have FUN while doing it.

Whether you have a dog that competes in dog sports and just needs a confidence boost or you have a dog that is afraid to leave your house, the activities and resources available in this class will work wonders for ALL dogs lacking confidence.  

In this course we will walk you through how to teach your dog some skills to help cope with the scary world around them like go to place/relax on a mat and also introduce some fun activities including scent work, dog parkour and tricks.

Using fun and engaging games, we will build your dog’s confidence and help them navigate and be more comfortable in this sometimes scary world.
