Do they bark, lunge, or growl at things while out on walks, or even at home?

If that sounds familiar, then this class is for you!
From Nervous Nellie to Confident Canine is a group class designed just for guardians of nervous, shy, or anxious dogs! In this 6-week live virtual group class you will learn how to help your nervous dog blossom into a confident and comfortable pup. We'll empower you with actionable skills and knowledge so that you and your dog can get through life's most challenging moments, together.
Let's turn your Nervous Nellie into a Confident Canine!
Join us for weekly live virtual group classes where you'll learn lots of skills and knowledge to help your dog build their confidence. Or watch the recordings if you can't make the virtual sessions!
Learn about dog body language, why dogs might be nervous or shy, how to interpret their behavior and best support them when they need help, and lots of ways to encourage more confident, comfortable behaviors.
We'll cover creating enrichment plans for nervous dogs, how to advocate for your dog at home and in public, helping your dog feel comfortable in new environments and around new things, training games to boost their confidence, and more!
The course curriculum is designed to not only provide you with actionable skills and knowledge but teach you how to think critically and strategically about what skills and knowledge pieces will be most effective for supporting your dog. Weekly workbooks support learning through brainstorming activities, training planning, and skill advice!
Working spot students will receive live feedback during our weekly group class training time plus get two personalized one-on-one virtual training sessions with Rover Rehab trainer Lyz (a $200+ value on its own!).
Office Hours are held twice during the class semester. Bring your training questions, get troubleshooting help if you are struggling with any skills or knowledge areas from class, and get additional support for whatever challenges you are facing with your dog.
Weekly workbooks, handouts, training skills worksheets, demo videos, and other helpful resources to refer to throughout the class.
Connect with other dog guardians who understand what it is like to live with and love a nervous dog. We'll be sharing training activities, supporting each other through hard moments, and celebrating wins both big and small.
