“We love YDF! It’s the only place we’ll go for training! Lots of great instructors and workshops, easy to get to, helpful staff, great information and referrals on the website as well. We have a rescue dog and she has lots of issues. The classes we have attended have helped us work through her issues and get to a happier/less anxious life, though it’s a work in progress. So glad YDF is there for us!”

About this Class:
Whether your dog is afraid of strangers, children, other dogs, cars, noises, or the recycle bin, you can help him feel more comfortable in your home and out in the world. In this class, you will learn how to pinpoint the signs your dog is worried. You’ll gain  strategies to minimize your dog’s exposure to the things that trigger his anxiety and learn a process to work through your dog’s fears, changing your dog’s emotional response from “Oh no!!” to “Okay!” In return, your dog will gain confidence and learn to trust that you’ve got his back.

 Your dog does not have to be present for class.

Fee – $150: Four sessions, 60 minutes each

What folks are saying: “I wanted to say thank you so much for helping Gigi transform into a more confident dog. She still has some challenges, but she has come a long way…We will definitely be taking more classes in the future at Your Dog’s Friend.”
