Resources to help dog owners with fearful and fizzy dogs.

All the resources on this page are geared towards helping dog owners who are struggling with reactivity. The products and classes you will find on this page are designed to help dogs who are experiencing fear or other large emotions. However these products are also beneficial to owners with fizzy adolescents that lack impulse control and display over-the-top behaviors due to excitement.

There are various prices designed to fit your budget, helping dog owners get the resources they need most.

Helping Fearful Dogs Feel Safe Workshop

As dog owners, we often are surprised or caught off balance if/when our dogs start over reacting to changes in the environment. When those fears are based on uncontrollable objects such as other people walking their dogs we need to take a different approach to helping our dogs feel safe. By helping them to feel safe we can begin training to help them fit better in the family. Learn how to support your fearful dog.

Yooper Paws has helped me to work with my dog’s reactivity and how to read her body language. I have seen Penny work with many dogs over the years and she uses kindness vs aggressive training methods. This makes the dog enjoy working vs losing drive.
