Dog Won't Stop Barking In Class

So many of of our clients come to us already having attended group classes with other training companies. We are always shocked by the things we hear when owners struggle with a barking or reactive dog. We have heard stories of people being told to drop hundreds of treats on the floor, sit in a padded room away from the class so their dog cannot be a disruption, or being asked to leave class altogether.

The average person might not know that food is a stimulant and does very little to settle an already overstimulated dog. They also may not know that avoiding the situation only creates false positives.

The only way to help the dog get better, is to coach them through the situation step by step.
