Nervous, anxious and fearful dogs struggle with everyday life. They are easily triggered, struggle with their emotions and often make poor behaviour choices - choices like hiding, running away, biting or growling.

Dogs who are confident handle new, funny, scary and stressful things better. They get over stressful moments quickly, don't make as many poor choices and feel happier and more outgoing. Your dog can learn to be more like this too!

Building bravery in your dog can help with any form of anxiety, fear or nervousness. When we help dogs feel brave, tackle challenges and grown in their confidence we see positive improvements in all other areas of their lives. And the coolest part is that we don't need to expose the dog to the stressful, scary and overwhelming situations that your dog might hate!

Is your dog freaked out at the vet?
Maybe anxious about noises?
Or do they run and hide from visitors?
Maybe they snarl and react at other dogs?

You might be thinking that the training has to happen in those situations for it to help your dog. But it doesn't! Confidence is a mindset that dogs gain through regular and successful exposure to challenges. Simple challenges that you can create at home and will take you a few minutes per session to do.

What's stopping you from helping your dog become an optimist and feel able to cope with the new, weird, scary and challenging things?

In this short course we show you how to assess your dog's confidence levels, how to start helping them feel brave and confident and how to create confidence building activities specifically for your dog and their unique needs.

We discuss what desensitisation is, how to use counter conditioning, how to identify your dog's feelings about situations or triggers and what to do to help them when they are feeling freaked out by something.

There are videos to show you how to help your dog work through a challenging situation and how to manage the level of challenge for your dog. This course will walk you through all that you need to know to help change how your dog feels about stressful and challenging situations.

Help your dog be braver today!
