Grounded Graduate
The Grounded Graduate program provides behavior modification solutions.
Is your dog often “grounded” - only allowed to go on walks at off hours or in quiet places due to their behaviors? Kept in a separate room when guests come over because of their reactivity? Or have they grounded you – you can’t go anywhere because of their crippling separation anxiety? You no longer have guests over because your dog is more than unwelcoming?
This program will take you and your dog from “grounded” in the negative way to “grounded” in the positive way – calm, collected, confident. Imagine enjoying walks with your dog without any stressful or embarrassing meltdowns. Imagine your dogs coexisting peacefully in your home. Imagine being confident in leaving your dog home alone for a couple of hours. Imagine your dog relaxing around guests instead of barking, pacing, or nipping them.
With no limits on time or number of lessons, this program will give you and your dog the time and attention you need to get to the root causes of your dog’s troubling behaviors. We’ll trade in fears for freedom, uncertainty for clarity, and stress for relief.
People who complete this program often feel more confident and certain about life with their dogs.
This program offers solutions for:
-
Cooperative care - so that brushing, nail trimming, and going to the vet goes smoothly and your dog can get the care they need when they need it.
-
Fears - so that getting your dog in the car, out for walks, or in the crate isn't such a stressful process.
-
Reactivity - so that you can safely and confidently walk your dog and have guests over.
-
Resource guarding - so that you or other household pets don't have to walk on eggshells around your dog's food bowls, toys, or dog beds.
-
Aggression - so that you and your dog don't have to live in isolation or with constant worry and stress.
