Confident Canine: Supporting Shy Dogs Workshop
Is your dog fearful or shy around people, other dogs, or environmental stimuli? This workshop is designed to help you understand and support your dog through gentle, positive reinforcement techniques that build trust, confidence, and security.
In this hands-on, interactive workshop, you will learn:
Understanding Fear & Shyness: Discover how fear manifests in behavior and body language, so you can better recognize signs of anxiety and stress in your dog.
Desensitization Techniques: Systematic ways to introduce your dog to things that make them anxious, helping them build resilience without overwhelming them.
Positive Reinforcement Strategies: Use rewards-based methods to encourage confidence-building behaviors, focusing on patience and slow, steady progress.
Practical Tools for Everyday Life: Equip yourself with the tools and techniques to use in everyday situations to reduce fear and anxiety, whether meeting a new neighbor, hearing construction noises, or walking through public spaces.
This workshop is perfect for owners of shy or fearful dogs who want to learn how to help their pets overcome their fears with kindness and patience. You'll leave with a toolkit of strategies to help your dog become more confident and comfortable in their world.
