Who Should Take This Fearful Dog Training Course?

This class is for the dog who consistently reacts by showing fearful behaviors like trembling, whining, hiding, shutting down, snapping, or fear biting. The goal is to increase overall social confidence and help show you how to safely manage and support your fearful dog. Through reward-based training games and desensitization, we will help you build your dog’s confidence and create a positive environment to ease the fears of your shy companion.

Fearful Fido is designed to build self- confidence and will teach you how to help your fearful dog cope with and ultimately enjoy new experiences. This class will cover techniques and skills to help your dog deal with their fear. Classes deal with learning to read dog’s body language and understanding how to make your dog more comfortable and relaxed in different environments and around people and other dogs.

Fearful Fido is not appropriate for aggressive dogs. If your dog is aggressive, check out our reactive rover aggressive dog training classes. If you are unsure about which class to take with your dog, please give us a call.

What To Bring To Our Scared Dog Training Classes

You will also need LOTS of yummy treats – High value training treats such as meat or cheese are good. You will be using a lot of small food rewards so you will need to wear something that has easy access pockets so that the treats do not fall out or a training treat pouch designed for the job.

You can also bring your dogs favorite toy too – this will be essential if you go on to do Fearful Fido Agility

You may wish to bring something to keep your dog entertained between turns. Examples could include stuffed and perhaps frozen Kongs, dog chews such as: meaty bones, pigs ears, Deer antlers, bully sticks squeezy cheese in a tube for refilling interactive toys etc.

Please also bring a blanket or lightweight bed for your dog to settle on during the lesson.
