Don’t Let Fear Be a Barrier
It’s perfectly fine for dogs to display a little uncertainty in unfamiliar situations. However, if your pup suffers from intense anxiety, they might be missing out on a lot.
Enabling your pup to live a full life means equipping them with the skills to overcome the fear and anxiety holding them back. Sit Means Sit Cleveland can help. Let your dog experience a training environment built around loving support and positive reinforcement, where they can feel safe learning to embrace the excitement of everyday life.
Helping Your Dog See Past Fear
Barking, lunging, chewing, whining and incontinence are all signs of anxiety in dogs. These behaviors are no picnic for pups or their owners. Often, however, dog anxiety is closely related to being unfamiliar with certain people or situations. If you can eliminate the uncertainty, you can usually eliminate the anxiety.
Sit Means Sit’s expert trainers will use science-based tactics to help anxious dogs react appropriately when facing something new (and potentially scary). During training, dogs will learn to:
- Focus on, trust and communicate with their owner in unfamiliar situations.
- Gain confidence when confronted with the unfamiliar.
- Practice impulse control and reduce reactive behavior.
- Calmly approach anxiety-inducing situations through controlled exposure.
Our training techniques ensure dogs feel loved and supported when letting their guard down, so they know it’s okay not to be fearful when stimulated by something new.
