 |
The Dominant Dogs class is a behavior modification class
designed for the dog who consistently over-reacts to the
presence of other dogs and/or people in public with loud
barking, lunging, and disruptive behavior. Dominant Dogs
class is also for the dog that has shown aggression toward
humans in the form of growling, snapping, or biting, but not
because of fear. The class is aimed at re-establishing
leadership for the handler using operant conditioning and
humane techniques (not brute force or physical
punishment). It is also designed to empower the handler to
re-gain control in a calm, effective manner.
