Clubs

  • Big Feelings Club focuses on reducing “reactivity” or pulling, barking, lunging behaviors on leash. This program is best suited for dog-directed reactivity since attendees have the opportunity to pair with our alumni dog/handler teams for practice each week.

    This program was created by clients working on “reactivity” and their generous contributions and ideas during focus groups. We’re so incredibly proud of the culture of this program and sense of community it provides to attendees.

    We are now adding clients to the waitlist for this program.
