Seize The Leash - Services - Tiny Tyrants Behavior Class

Tiny Tyrants Behavior Class
Special Class for dogs 30lbs and under.

Our Tiny Tyrants Behavior Training Class addresses the specific needs of the small and toy dogs. All exercises are designed for the success of your dog. Training exercises are divided into a variety of categories to help you build a strong relationship with your dog while helping your pet develop a broad base of life skills and the ability to cope with their old fears and easily handle new things and new environments.

Controlled Freedom:
Specific exercises designed to teach your dog to follow your directions and stay connected to you even when they are distracted, aroused or excited.

Impulse Control:
A common cause of behavior problems in dogs is distraction. Environmental triggers cause dogs to shift their focus from you to the distraction. you will learn commands that help improve a dogs attentiveness to their owner and to assis the dog in controlling himself.

Confidence Building:

Communication exercises designed to increase your dogs trust in you while improving their self confidence.

Leadership:
Massage, TTouch, body handling and movement exercises that show your dog that trusting you to move him around raises his confidence, makes him feel good, ease his stress and makes you the most desirable thing in his environment.

Play Training:
In all games that you play with your shy or reative dog, the dog should always win.It builds confidence and a confident dog performs very crisp and quick actions. We need to let our dogs be dogs and think that playing with you is the most fun thing in the world, nothing else really matters. Training puppies should not destroy personality. It should enhance it and focus it into acceptable behaviors and away from unacceptable behaviors.

This course is designed to help you desensitize a dog that overeacts towards unfamiliar dogs or people. You will learn why your dog reacts adversely, what the triggers are for each reactive behavior, how to reduce reactivity and how best to manage the environment to improve your dog's quality of life. You will learn about brain functions, arousal levels, recovery time, canine communication signals and the use of counter-conditioning and desensitization. This group course is for dogs that are uncomfortable or unable to be around other dogs - dogs that are easily distracted and have difficulty concentrating - dogs that are reactive or easily aroused - dogs that are anxious or stressed and shut down - dogs that are unable to control their impulses when excited.

This class is taught in an open sports field with lots of distance between teams. Please be aware that the group behavior class is a highly structured and controlled class that will work strictly on your dog's reaction to other dogs and to people. The class meets once a week. All family members are encouraged to attend. Only one dog per person who must be at least 18 years old. It is difficult to control a reactive dog in a group situation, having more then one compounds the difficulty.
