Reframing Reactivity

09/02/2022

R for Relief & Results

Your puppy wasn’t programmed with all the rules! How to pay attention, how to act around other people and other dogs… and how to deal with all the chaos and excitement in life!

Imagine not having to worry about your puppy being afraid of situations, play biting everyone, stealing things, peeing in the house and barking like crazy when they’re alone!

Our unique home-based puppy Board & Train or Day School programs teach your pup the rules of modern family living.
