For dogs with Big Feelings!

Does your dog bark, growl, lunge, or get anxious around other dogs, people, or everyday sights like bikes or strollers? The Howl and Growl Club is designed to help you understand and support your reactive or fearful dog in a safe, controlled environment.

Join Lela of Fitnacity Dog Training and Emily of Mischief and Manners Dog Training for this special class.

Over five weeks, we will focus on building confidence, safe and practical management techniques, and different strategies and training games to help create calmer walks and a less stressful life.

5 Week Class
Small Group- limited to 5 dogs
Dual Instructors Emily and Lela- ensures you receive plenty of attention and support
Dogs benefit from learning in the controlled environment of Fitnacity, but we take those skills to the real world the final week!
Detailed homework sheets each week to ensure you can practice between sessions

Week One: Human-Only Orientation

Discuss training basics like markers (verbal/clicker), different types of treats & reinforcement, equipment, and some simple foundations to begin at home before your dog’s first day of class. Sets the group up for success!

Week Two - Four: Training Together

Over these three weeks, we will work together in a group setting to build various skills. We’ll go over focus games, management strategies and desensitization techniques. Visual barriers will be available while dogs are learning to focus on their handlers and relax around triggers.

Week Five: Field Trip Day

For our final session, we will take our skills out into the Real World! During a walk in a park, we will practice applying these skills to encounters with various triggers while learning how to keep our inner calm.
