Ever wanted to try a Rattlesnake Avoidance class, but don't feel comfortable with the risk of using an eCollar to do it (believe me, the risks are big!).

Then check out this Positive Reinforcement Snake Avoidance class at The Veterinary Behavior Center.

The course uses positive reinforcement-based training and includes structured skill development and homework to support long-term retention.

Program Details:
• Begins April 16
• Thursday, 6–7 PM (first session virtual, remaining sessions in person)
• Limited to 6 dog-handler teams
• Full participant: $330
• Virtual audit option: $119

In Good Paws isn't teaching or associated with this class, but these skills are so valuable, I wanted to share!

Registration is available at:
www.vetbehaviorcenter.com/classes (scroll to Snake Avoidance Class)

Imagine a world where you feel confident stepping out the door with your reactive dog. Your dog is able to disengage from things that previously sent them over the edge; checking in with you rather than barking and lunging. You know exactly how to support your dog in tough situations. You look forward to walks, instead of secretly (or not so secretly) dreading them.

How is this possible? By joining Control Unleashed! In this 4 week small group class, we give you the tools to help your reactive dog develop more coping skills in a world that gives them big feelings. Learn alongside other owners who know what you are going through with lots of one-on-one guidance from your instructors. That’s right- we have 2 instructors for each 5 dog class to ensure you feel supported every step of the way.

How to join? The first step is a 30-minute instructor evaluation/mini-session to make sure class is a good fit for your dog. Plus you get management strategies and a training exercise to get started with right away!

I’m in! The next class starts on 3/1 at Team Spirit Agility in Arvada. Schedule an evaluation using this link:
