Social Skills Class

Our Social Skills classes are designed for parents who want to socialise their dog in a safe and controlled environment. They are ideal for:

• Dogs that haven't had proper or adequate socialisation (e.g. a recently adopted dog requiring gradual & positive introductions to other dogs)
• Conflicted dogs that are willing to interact with other dogs but not sure of how to do it properly
• Our Group class graduates who want to continue socialising appropriately in a controlled environment
• Our Private session clients who want to continue implementing the strategies they have learned (e.g. counter-conditioning) in a controlled environment

During our Training Sessions you will learn:

• On-lead management around other dogs.
• Strategies on how to safely introduce your dog to other dogs (parallel walking, checking in etc).
• How to read your dog's body language to determine his/her emotional state
• How to ensure that your dog has a positive experience around other dogs

This program has no specific duration. You can attend as many classes as you want. Our requirements are:

For Newcomers (dogs that have not attended any of our training programs)

• Completing a 30 minute in-home assessment to discuss your case in more detail and determine your dog's suitability for the class
• Enrolling at least 48 hours prior to class commencement

For our Graduates (dogs that have attended either our classes and/or Private training programs)
