Petiquette
Petiquette is a 3 part approach to manners:
1. Making your dog more comfortable
2. Making those around you more comfortable
3. Practicing responsible ownership
Is your dog leash reactive towards other dogs, humans or wildlife? Or maybe he’s TOO friendly, and wants to run up to every dog he sees? Petiquette works for both!
We will use positive reinforcement and lots of space to keep your dog below threshold while your dog learns about polite greetings and personal space. We use a comprehensive desensitization and counter-conditioning protocol, elements of Behavior Adjustment Training (BAT), and Control Unleashed games so that your dog learns when new people/dogs/bikes/cars are around, good things happen! Once your dog is more comfortable, others around you will be more comfortable too!
You’ll learn how to:
-keep people from approaching your dog
-put distance between you and your dog’s triggers
-let people know that your dog is in training, and needs more space
-teach your dog alternative behaviours to reacting
-use the environment as enrichment
How it works:
The Petiquette package includes:
1: A video. You will receive an email confirmation of your registration, as well as an email containing a link to a 30 minute video about Petiquette so that you know what we will be doing, and what you’ll need to get started.
2: Group training sessions to practice what you’ve learned in a real-world scenario. We will be walking indoors and outdoors (weather permitting) in a secure fenced area at Spoiled Rotten Dog Daycare, 4125 Navan Rd, Navan, Ontario.
The Petiquette course includes:
-a 30 minute video
AND
-four 30 minute group practice walks
For $189 per dog.
All the human members of the family are welcome to participate at no extra fee.
**We will only be walking when it’s nice outside, to ensure it’s a positive experience for you and your dog. We will work indoors if the weather is poor.
I look forward to seeing you and your pupper!
