possession aggression) are predominantly fear-based.&nbsp; Unfortunately there are too many people subscribing to alpha, pack leader or dominance theories that teach the use of force and\/or intimidation to secure one&#8217;s rank over their dog to make them submit in order to get the desired behaviours.&nbsp; These techniques typically exacerbate the issues because they not only fail to address the underlying issue (fear), they actually&nbsp;<em>add<\/em>&nbsp;to them by making the dog more fearful\/anxious and destroying the human-canine bond.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>These <a href=\"https:\/\/puppypowerdogtraining.com\/?page_id=678\">Articles<\/a>\u00a0by Puppy Power&#8217;s founder, Norma Jeanne Laurette, and her partner, Greg Ceci, explain the short-comings of the Dominance theory and also how many &#8220;aggressive&#8221; behaviours are normal and necessary canine communication for which your dog should never be punished or reprimanded.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n<style>.kadence-column669_7ae403-fc14 > .kt-inside-inner-col,.kadence-column669_7ae403-fc14 >

consistent and benevolent leader are all key factors to creating the calm, confident, happy and well-adjusted dog that everyone wants.&nbsp; Using proven, positive reinforcement-based techniques that do not create distrust, Samantha DeJong, B,Sc, CTB.ccs, IPDTA-CDT will not only show you how to shape the behaviours you want but also how to use them to replace the behaviours you don&#8217;t want.&nbsp; When done right, most dogs (and owners!) actually find behaviour modification training enjoyable and the real results are seen as we create a positive conditioned emotional response (CER) to previously fear-inducing triggers.&nbsp; We let the dogs set the pace and keep them under threshold so that we can teach the dogs not to just tolerate but to feel comfortable\/confident around and actually like things that previously scared them\/evoked a negative response.&nbsp; The best part is that the whole time we work on creating these desired behaviours and positive associations, a wonderful bond is formed between the dog and its owner that is built on mutual respect based on trust.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Timid &amp; Fearful

href=\"https:\/\/puppypowerdogtraining.com\/?page_id=632\">Socialization Classes<\/a> are the best way to teach dogs to feel safe and comfortable around new dogs and people in a controlled environment

assessing the dog, while explaining what underlies fearful behaviour and what we do to change it.<\/p>\n\n\n<style>.kb-row-layout-id669_7e39d1-8842 >

lunging at people or other dogs on walks, and you fear that your dog wouldn&#8217;t do well in a &#8220;class&#8221; setting, the Reactive to Relaxed package is for you. The 4 week virtual CU Building Blocks class will help you understand why your dog reacts the way it does, and how to set your dog (and yourself) up for success. &nbsp;Then the Power of the Pattern class will give you lots of hands-on training in a structured setting for an additional 4 weeks. &nbsp;After completion of the program, you can also do pay as you go classes for refreshers as needed. These classes are held outdoors from mid-May until end of October, and are weather-dependent. Troubleshooting specific triggers (bikes, skateboards, etc) can also be arranged upon request.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Our Reactive to Relaxed package combines the 4 week CU:Building Blocks virtual class and the 4 week Power of the Pattern in person class for a total of 8 weeks of instruction.

Rehabilitation Many people are surprised to learn that aggressive behaviours (ie. reactivity, dog\/dog aggression, dog\/human aggression, food aggression, and possession aggression) are predominantly fear-based.&nbsp; Unfortunately there are too many people subscribing to alpha, pack leader or dominance theories that teach the use of force and\/or intimidation to secure one&#8217;s rank over their dog to make them submit in order to get the desired behaviours.&nbsp; These techniques typically exacerbate the issues because they not only fail to address the underlying issue (fear), they actually&nbsp;add&nbsp;to them by making the dog more fearful\/anxious and destroying the human-canine bond.&nbsp; These Articles\u00a0by Puppy Power&#8217;s founder, Norma Jeanne Laurette, and her partner, Greg Ceci, explain the short-comings of the Dominance theory and also how many &#8220;aggressive&#8221; behaviours are normal and necessary canine communication for which your dog should never be punished or reprimanded. Understanding the way your dog thinks, learns and communicates and using that information to become a predictable, consistent and benevolent leader are all key factors to creating the calm, confident, happy and well-adjusted dog that everyone wants.&nbsp; Using proven, positive reinforcement-based techniques that do not create distrust, Samantha DeJong, B,Sc, CTB.ccs, IPDTA-CDT will not only show you how to shape the behaviours you want but also how to use them to replace the behaviours you don&#8217;t want.&nbsp; When done right, most dogs (and owners!) actually find behaviour modification training enjoyable and the real results are seen as we create a positive conditioned emotional response (CER) to previously fear-inducing triggers.&nbsp; We let the dogs set the pace and keep them under threshold so that we can teach the dogs not to just tolerate but to feel comfortable\/confident around and actually like things that previously scared them\/evoked a negative response.&nbsp; The best part is that the whole time we work on creating these desired behaviours and positive associations, a wonderful bond is formed between the dog and its owner that is built on mutual respect based on trust. Timid &amp; Fearful Dog Rehabilitation In addition to taking the CU: Building Blocks course to understand how to communicate and work with fearful dogs better, the Timid &amp; Small Dog Socialization Classes are the best way to teach dogs to feel safe and comfortable around new dogs and people in a controlled environment that sets the dogs up to succeed.&nbsp; For more difficult cases, a private consultation may be recommended to start things off on the right track and spend some one-on-one time individually assessing the dog, while explaining what underlies fearful behaviour and what we do to change it. Reactive Dog Rehabilitation If your dog is barking and\/or lunging at people or other dogs on walks, and you fear that your dog wouldn&#8217;t do well in a &#8220;class&#8221; setting, the Reactive to Relaxed package is for you. The 4 week virtual CU Building Blocks class will help you understand why your dog reacts the way it does, and how to set your dog (and yourself) up for success. &nbsp;Then the Power of the Pattern class will give you lots of hands-on training in a structured setting for an additional 4 weeks. &nbsp;After completion of the program, you can also do pay as you go classes for refreshers as needed. These classes are held outdoors from mid-May until end of October, and are weather-dependent. Troubleshooting specific triggers (bikes, skateboards, etc) can also be arranged upon request. Our Reactive to Relaxed package combines the 4 week CU:Building Blocks virtual class and the 4 week Power of the Pattern in person class for a total of 8 weeks of instruction.
