BonaFide Cranky Canines Is your dog reactive at the end of the leash? Does he bark, growl and lunge at other dogs? Learn how to help your dog go from cranky to calm in this specialty class! It's a struggle for owners with reactive dogs to have pleasant outings with their dog. Regular training classes are often not a option, because the dog-reactive dog is too stimulated by the other dogs in class to learn. In "Cranky Canines", handlers will learn how to help their dogs be appropriate around other dogs for the purposes of walks, regular group classes, and other on-leash outings. Training is accomplished with positive methods, and classes are arranged as private and semi-private sessions to allow for plenty of one-on-one attention. You and your dog will have ample room and a relaxed environment to train in! Our new four-week format allows teams to progress while welcoming new teams into the sessions on a regular basis. The instructor of this class will coordinate the privates/semi-privates each week to allow for the best progression and/or introduction of each team. "Class time" will encompass a set one to two hour block of time at BDA, and team training will be scheduled in smaller increments during this block. Class length: 4 weeks Class size limit: varies Class duration: private/semi-private Prerequisites A dog at least 6 months old Owner has had the dog for at least three months or instructor permission Current vaccination records (including rabies for all dogs 28 weeks and older, parvo, canine distemper, canine hapatitis, and parainfluenza) Handler must be an adult (18 yrs or older) unless prior permission is given by the instructor or the class is designated as a kid's class. Any minor handling a dog must be supervised at all times by a parent or guardian. Please call us at 402.250.9452 or email us with any questions. To minimize the risk to our staff, students and retail customers and as required by our business liability insurance, we do not work with dogs who demonstrate aggressive or menacing tendencies toward people. Puppies explore the world with their mouths and must be taught not to nip at people when playing. Any adult dog may accidently make tooth contact when playing with a toy or nip when playing chase games. These types of oral play behaviors aren't true aggression and don't necessarily prevent you from enrolling your dog in a class with BonaFide. However, we will refer any dog which attacks, snaps at, bites, or has a history of attacking any person without provocation or which inflicts an injury on any person that does not require medical treatment (bruises, scrapes, etc.), chases or approaches a person on streets, sidewalks, or any public grounds in a menacing fashion or apparent attitude of attack, or has a known tendency to attack when unprovoked, cause injury, or threaten the safety of humans to the Nebraska Humane Society for further behavioral assistance. This determination will be made in BonaFide's sole professional discretion. Also, if at any time in class a dog demonstrates any of the above behaviors, the dog will not be allowed to continue in the class. If you have any questions about this policy or if it applies to your dog, please don't hesitate to contact us at 402.250.9452.
