Is your dog Afraid? Fearful? Lacks Confidence?
Most pet behaviorists agree that training is essential for building the confidence of insecure dogs. A dog’s ability to act confidently often comes from their own belief that they will know how to act in a given situation or in their ability to adapt to a multitude of different situations.
Does your dog:
- Cower at people or other dogs or other things in his environment, even inanimate objects?
- Appear to be scared either in his own home or out in public?
- Whine, shake, bark & retreat, hide?
- Act afraid of someone in your home? guests? other dogs?
Our Confidence Building for Scaredy Dogs course is designed to help your dog build self-confidence and will give you the tools to help your fearful dog cope with — and ultimately enjoy — new experiences.
