Dog Training and Behaviour
Big Feelings
Help with fear, anxiety, reactivity
|
Dogs may experience challenges in daily life that impact their quality of life, and yours. When your dog has big feelings and is fearful, anxious, reactive, it is stressful for everyone. It can affect many areas of your life and feel impossible to go for walks or have visitors to your home. When you are living with such a difficult problem, it can be hard to see a way forward.
We can help your dog learn a new way of acting in the world and develop new habits around people and other dogs. We can help your dog gain new skills to navigate the world with confidence and optimism. Learn more about our behaviour support program. |

Scent Stories
Empower your dog through scent work
|
Dogs were born to sniff and explore the world through their nose. Solving a scent puzzle is a complex task that provides terrific mental stimulation and builds confidence.
All breeds, ages, and sizes can participate in scent work. Dogs with different temperaments, including reactive, nervous, and shy dogs, are welcome and will benefit from structured, positive, fun exposure to learning. Dogs who uncomfortable with other dogs can take part because the dogs work singly in the search areas and wait in the car between turns. Seniors, dogs who are deaf or blind, and dogs with special physical needs can also participate as scent work is not physically demanding. In scent work, the dog is the expert!
