BRAVE - your nervous/anxious dog

This 2 hour workshop is designed to show you how to boost your dog's confidence. 

A dog who lacks confidence can

• Bark and lunge towards dogs
• Bark and lunge towards people
• Be fearful of novelty, such as sounds, different surfaces, sudden changes in the environment
• Lack confidence with being handled
• Can find new or busy environments stressful, and therefore affect responsiveness to training
• Can trigger stack quickly, meaning they may react to things they don't normal react to
• Can find training itself stressful and give up easily rather than trying harder
• And much more!

We'll be covering a variety of exercises that you can easily replicate at home to continue building your dogs confidence, such as:

• Exploring novelty such as different surfaces that make noise, wobble, move etc
• Paws up - teaching your dog to put his paws up on various surfaces on cue
• Fun exercises to promote body awareness
• Middle - the portable safe place
• Free shaping - building your dogs confidence to try new things
• Engage-disengage exercises to change emotional responses to triggers in the environment
• Handling  exercises to help your dog to release stress/tension
• Dispelling the myths of socialisation
• Reading body language
• Promoting low arousal to aid better choices
