Cool Your Collars is for dogs who have big feelings toward any trigger. Behaviors exhibited may include snarling, barking, or lunging at triggers. This class is designed to teach you how to help your dog  decompress and handle situations that "rile them up." Distance and barriers are used to set the pups up for success so they stay in a mental state to learn and practice around other reactive dogs. 

At the end of the class, you will receive the education and materials on decompression, self-soothing, redirecting, managing situations, emergency skills and cues, and how to communicate with your dog.

Cost: $225 before tax
