We will discuss problem behaviors like over-arousal and jumping up.
Training classes will cover and elaborate on “click for calm”, incompatible behaviors, attention work including name response and eye contact, basic cues like sit, down, stand, touch, stay and recall. More complex behaviors like mat work, loose leash walking, greeting behaviors and impulse control behaviors like off/wait, leave it and sit and wait for dinner are trained.
