Get Focused!
Class Description: Impulse Control for Dogs
Does your dog have trouble focusing when there are distractions? Is she easily over stimulated or forget all about listening to you when she’s excited? Is it hard to bring her with you because you know she can’t behave? Put all that behind you! Turn stress to confidence, convert distraction to rapt attention, and learn ways to get your dog to respond reliably off-leash in stressful situations.
