CANINE EINSTEIN
- the next level after puppy school.
Your puppy has learned several commands, now it's time to
add a little distance, duration and distraction to those commands.
Being a "Ruff" n'
Tumble graduate means that your pup can already perform a wide variety of behaviours without visible rewards, in
this class we'll be fine tuning those behaviors and adding some more challenges.
Can your puppy
sit when asked from a twenty foot distance away from you....with your back turned? How about when you add
other dogs, toys, and different environments to that challenge?
This is the class that will take you and your pup
to the next level as a happy, cohesive team.
Pups and dogs must have completed either "Ruff"
n' Tumble Puppy Kindergarten or Private Training with Diamond in the "Ruff" Inc. and be social.

GROWL CLASS - Rehabilitation for
the Reactive Dog.
Is your dog a little "Ruff" around the edges? Maybe GROWL class is what he needs
in order to smooth out that tough exterior and reveal the dog you know and love to the rest of the world. GROWL class
is for dogs who are reactive to any trigger; other dogs, people, skateboards, cars..anything that causes anxiety levels
to make him appear aggressive or upset. This class will actually deal with the root cause of the problem, rather than
simply suppressing the symptoms (reactivity) of those problems.
Over 95% of what appears to be angry aggression
is actually based in fear. Unfortunately, this kind of behavior has been misunderstood and therefore handled improperly
in the past. We now know that dealing with "aggression" using anger and physical punishment is not only incorrect
and inhumane, it's also ineffective in actually dealing with what caused the behaviour in the first place.
In this 8 week rehabilitation class, we will use both CAT (CONSTRUCTIONAL AGGRESSION TREATMENT) and COUNTER CONDITIONING/DESENSITIZATION
methods to change the way that your dog feels about the trigger to his anxiety, rather that simply correcting the symptoms
(growling, lunging, snapping). You will learn how to teach your dog to see this scarey stimulus as
a bonus rather than a threat, thus rebuilding his confidence...and yours.
