Is your dog a grumpy dog?

Does your dog:

Bark at other Dogs/Strangers

Growl at other Dogs/Strangers

Lunge at or act aggressively towards Dogs/Strangers while they are either on or off lead

If the answer to any of the above is yes then join CapableCanines on a series of 4-hour workshops designed to desensitise your dog to the stimulus.

The stimulus is anything that causes a reaction, such as those mentioned above. The reaction that your dog may be having can range from slight to extreme.

The workshop will not turn an aggressive dog into a friendly dog, but will teach your dog to control themselves, enabling them not to overreact to the stimulus.

You will learn how you can control the environment that you put your dog in. We will show you how to relax in what can be a distressing situation, give your dog the correct the correct signal and take control in a completely kind, fair and effective way. No harsh methods ever need to be used. You are not a bad owner because you have a 'grumpy dog' - you are a victim of a society that demands all dogs are friendly.

We place unreasonable expectations on our dogs nowadays. The way in which we live our lives today is partly to blame. We live in close proximity to each other, which in turn forces our dogs to do the same.

The 'grumpy dogs' workshop has been designed to allow your dog to be slowly desensitised to a stimulus enabling greater success. The length of the time between workshops will give you the much needed time to work with your dog.

Your dog will work on an individual basis for 20 minutes at a time and then allowed to relax before beginning work again. The environment that your dog works in will be calm and relaxed at all times.

Your dog will need to be able to stay in the car between exercises or in a separate room.

The workshops are on a Saturday afternoon at 1.30pm and take place every 5-6 weeks.

Don't be a stressed stay at home dog owner or a lone midnight walker anymore.

One comment from a client that has attended some of the Workshops says it all -

"Thank you for showing me that there is a different way"
