Barking
Whether it is out the window, at the door or at the television, City Dogs can get to the root of the barking and help you to determine the best techniques to help your dog become more “zen”.
Reactivity
Does your dog bark and lunge at dogs, people or anything on wheels? City Dogs has a number of techniques that will help your dog to relax around things that make them squirrely.
Puppyhood
Puppies are so cute, sweet….and so much work! Get off on the right paw and learn the skills and focus that your pup will need to be calm canine citizens both inside and outside.
Foundation Skills
Does your dog need a tune-up on a specific skill such as loose leash walking, recall, drop, leave it? City Dogs makes the foundation skills fun and motivating for all involved so that these skills stick!
Fear and Anxiety
Whether your dog is afraid of thunderstorms, garbage cans, other dogs or a variety of sights and sounds, City Dogs can help your dog build confidence and resilience.
Resource Guarding
Does your dog get growly or nippy when food, toys or other coveted items are around? Does your dog steal things like shoes, clothing or other items and not want to give them back? We can help!
Overexcitement
Does your dog get overly excited when guests come over? Does your dog want to say hi to everyone on a walk or chase squirrels? We can help create more calm both inside and outside your home.
Rescues
Adopting a rescue is an incredible journey for both you and your dog, but some dogs need a little extra TLC to help them acclimatize. City Dogs works with many rescue organizations as a trainer on call and also co-created The Rescue Plan with EduCanine.
