what students are saying
Note: This is a human only event. You do not bring your dog.
It is really stressful having a dog who pulls on lead, lunges towards other dogs or barks at people/cars/cyclists/birds/etc.
This comprehensive seminar presented by Jari Castle will show you the proven fear-free methods to get your dog on track to being less reactive to the things around them, and more responsive to you.

No dogs will attend the session (except service/assistance dogs).
