Growl Class Rehabilitation for the Reactive Dog Next GROWL CLASS TBA See Private Training page for new options for your "GROWLY" pooch. Call Colleen to register today, 403-253-6080! Is your dog a little "Ruff" around the edges? Maybe GROWL class is what he needs in order to smooth out that tough exterior and reveal the dog you know and love to the rest of the world. GROWL class is for dogs who are reactive to any trigger; other dogs, people, skateboards, cars..anything that causes anxiety levels to make him appear aggressive or upset. This class will actually deal with the root cause of the problem, rather than simply suppressing the symptoms (reactivity) of those problems. Over 95% of what appears to be angry dog aggression is actually based in fear. Unfortunately, this kind of behavior has been misunderstood and therefore handled improperly in the past. We now know that dealing with "aggression" using anger and physical punishment is not only incorrect and inhumane, it's also ineffective in actually dealing with what caused the behaviour in the first place. In this 6 week rehabilitation class, we will use both COUNTER CONDITIONING/DESENSITIZATION methods, and in rare cases CAT (CONSTRUCTIONAL AGGRESSION TREATMENT) to change the way that your dog feels about the trigger to his anxiety, rather that simply correcting the symptoms (growling, lunging, snapping). You will learn how to teach your dog to see this scary stimulus as a bonus rather than a threat, thus rebuilding his confidence...and yours.
