The Calm and Confident Canine (formerly Changing Attitudes)

If your dog lunges, barks, or shuts down around triggers — other dogs, loud noises, bikes, squirrels — you’ve probably already tried telling them to sit. It didn’t work. That’s because the problem isn’t disobedience. It’s stress. The Calm and Confident Canine is a science-based behavior modification course that addresses why your dog reacts the way they do and teaches you both the tools to change it. Over 9 weeks, you’ll learn to read your dog’s body language, manage their stress response before it escalates, and build genuine confidence — in your dog, and in yourself as their handler and guardian.
