Goal of the course
This virtual, 5-part class is directed toward foster dogs who are struggling with the transition from shelter life to home life. We will focus on helping your dog through these very common issues by learning how to identify stress-related behaviors and use training techniques to establish calm, collected, and comfortable behavior in the home.
This drop-in course will be held every Wednesday T at 6:30pm on Google Meet. You'll receive the invite link one hour before each class.
