Goal of the course

Naughty Behaviors Class is targeted towards our pups that are a bit more sensitive than the rest and who need a little extra help with more challenging behaviors.


This 4-week course consists of 4 one-hour classes and will focus on resource guarding, territorial aggression, defensive behaviors, and jumpy/mouthy behaviors. We will meet virtually once a week.


The format of the virtual classes will include discussing what the problem behavior looks like and options for working through it with different training exercises. Each training exercise will be demonstrated during the class by the course instructor.


WHO CAN TAKE THE COURSE? 

The course is open to anyone currently fostering a dog with Austin Pets Alive! that wants to learn how to manage the behaviors addressed in this course.

Fosters are not required to attend each class--simply sign up for the topics that most interest you.
