FEARFUL DOG COACHING PROGRAM
Fear and anxiety can present in many different ways. It can show up in mild ways such as being shy when someone comes over to more severe ways such as hiding, growling, freezing, or wanting to flee.
Working with a fearful dog requires patience, time, and a specific behavior modification program personally designed for you and your dog. Understanding and training with your fearful dog takes time and commitment.
Every dog’s journey is different. Progress depends on many factors, including your dog’s history, environment, genetics, and the severity of their fear. Some dogs improve quickly, while others need more time and support. Lasting behavior change does not happen overnight, but with consistency, compassion, and the right guidance, meaningful improvement is possible.
Training package recommendations:
-
4-6 sessions for a dog with mild fear such as a shy dog, a new dog adjusting to your home, a dog struggling with a single fearful stimulus.
-
8+ sessions for a dog with extreme multiple fears such as fear of people, fear of other dogs, noise phobias, dogs who cannot come in the house or move outside the house, dogs with a history of trauma, dogs adopted from a known cruelty situation, dogs who hide or want to flee.
The training that you do with your fearful dog is crucial to help build trust, confidence, a stronger sense of safety, and be able to comfortably navigate the world on a daily basis.
Together we can improve your dog's quality of life!
WHAT’S INCLUDED:
-
30-60-minute in person coaching sessions. Depending on your dog’s fear level, in person sessions, virtual sessions, or a combination of in person and virtual may be the best choice. I’ll work collaboratively with you to make the best choice for you and your dog.
-
Canine expertise - Between sessions, you’ll continue to receive professional support and feedback. I encourage you to send videos of your dog’s progress so we can troubleshoot challenges, celebrate successes, and continue building your training skills.
-
Supportive materials – You will receive supportive learning materials, including written lesson summaries, step-by-step instructions, handouts, demonstration videos, and helpful reading resources to make practicing at home feel clear and manageable.
-
Unlimited support -Your support doesn’t end when the session is over. Ongoing communication through email, text messaging, and phone support is included throughout your training package so you never feel like you’re navigating the process alone.
-
Human coaching - This work is about supporting you too. Living with a fearful dog can feel emotionally exhausting at times. My goal is to provide encouragement, understanding, and practical guidance so you feel supported and empowered throughout the journey toward lasting change.
