Is your dog terrified of the car? Insistent on being a backseat driver? The fun police? A chaotic distraction? If our dogs don't yet have the skills to be calm co-pilots, car trips can be stressful, if not very dangerous.
Using pattern games and creative set-ups, this class provides a roadmap to success so you can adventure more and worry less.
The course kicks off with a live webinar, which will be recorded. Each week, written and video lectures will be released to help you practice, build on success, and troubleshoot.
Whether your dog is a Nervous Nelly, a Chaos Claire, a FOMO Fido, or you just want to learn some more skills, we've got you covered!
Online courses give you structured plans to follow while working with your schedule. You'll be able to focus on your dog without worrying about running into potential triggers or having to schedule a babysitter. You can work at your own pace while still getting plenty of help along the way.
You'll need a dog, a leash, access to a car, and a variety of treats. It's also helpful to have a way to video your training sessions so you can review later.
For car set ups, you will need:
A way to contain your dog, such as a crate, buckle in harness, or booster seat
A way for your dog to get into your car, such as a ramp or steps
Long-lasting treats, such as Toppls, Kongs, appropriate chews, lick mats, and snuffle mats
A safe place to practice with doors open. That could be in your garage, a friend's back yard, or in a public lot with exercise pens providing a barrier around the car
