WORKSHOP: Impulse Control

Is your dog out of control?

Does your dog jump up on you or other people, bark to be fed or to play, barge through doors, raid the coffee table or the waste bin, pull on leash, never listen, etc?

Then this two-hour workshop is for you!

We will discuss the problems associated with impulse control issues and practice exercises to TEACH YOUR DOG SELF CONTROL.

Topics covered will include:

- pulling on leash

- jumping up

- mouthing

- chasing small animals

- counter surfing

- demand barking

- barging through doors

- general lack of attention / not listening

- and more...

What Clients Are Saying:

Hi Lizbeth, Stephanie and Glenda: Thought you would like to know, we took Dalli to the Duncan market on Saturday morning. She was a perfect lady, walked around with her tail wagging and held high all the time. She was friendly and outgoing to other people, and sniffed other people’s hands and let them pet her when we stopped to talk or purchase things from the different stalls. We then walked over to the Garage for coffee, sat outside and again, she was well behaved, let people pet her and she was actually licking their hands. This was her first outing in a busy people environment as we usually just leave her in the car or at home when we go out shopping. What a difference from a year ago when you first met her. Thank you, thank you! We’ll see you in the fall when we come for the agility courses. (Dalli was adopted a year ago from Mexico, and was fear-aggressive to people coming to the house.)

Hi Lisbeth, Just wanted to let you know Wylie’s emergency recall works! We came across two unleashed dogs on a hike yesterday and he went over the edge unfortunately- tore the leash out of my hand and ran away into the woods. I took a tumble in the process and by the time I got up he was out of sight. Pulled out the whistle, called him repeatedly and after what seemed like ages he came to me! We will never leave the house without my whistle ad sardines…thank you so much! Marika
