Marshmallows Class and Confidence Building Class Start March 19

We have both a Marshmallows Class and a Confidence Building class starting on Thursday, March 19 in Dublin. 

The Marshmallows class was designed specifically for shy or fearful dogs.  Owners will learn to understand fear or shyness and ways to help their dog cope with it.  Every exercise and lesson is designed to meet the needs of shy and fearful dogs.  There is less pressure and all the exercises are modified with shy dogs in mind.  Because there are so many shy and fearful dogs out there this class has been very successful and because I have a soft spot for Marshmallow dogs I really enjoy teaching it.  Please contact me if you are interested in registering.

The Confidence Building class is designed to allow dogs to use their seeking system (hunting, exploring, playing, investigating) to find them reinforcement and build confidence.  Dogs are worked one at a time in this class, which makes it perfect for dogs that are uncomfortable with other dogs.  Dogs who have issues with people are also welcome in this class as it is designed in a way that allows us to keep dogs with issues safe and protected.  This class is a perfect next step from Marshmallows class or can be done in conjunction with Marshmallows.  Please contact me if you are interested in registering.

The Marshmallows class and the Confidence Building class are both 5 weeks and $150.
