Growly Dog 2 Class

This is our follow-up class in Seattle to train dogs with dog-dog reactivity or aggression issues who have been through either the Growly Dog class at Ahimsa or a private lesson with one of our trainers. Dogs in this class must have done the aforementioned training and have a reactivity threshold of less than 15 feet to other dogs, meaning that they can usually be at that distance from other dogs without reacting.

If your dog reacts aggressively toward people, then you and your dog will need private behavior sessions with Grisha Stewart or Mireille Baumoel instead of the class. If you haven't read the BAT book, we highly recommend that you do so during or before this class.

How it works: All dogs enrolled in the class attend all 6 classes, but enter the room in a carefully orchestrated way to avoid meltdowns. Dogs will work on leash walking, relaxation, and focus (even when another dog is around), plus BAT set-ups in pairs to teach your dog more coping skills around other dogs. There will be some fun stuff, too! Expect to do some training outdoors in Seattle, so dress accordingly.

BONUS! During your 6-week class, you can drop into our ongoing manners classes and regular workshops for free, on a space-available basis (without your dog, unless your dog is able to attend other classes safely).

Growly Dog 2 Training Class Limit: 6 dogs.
