Let's Be Brave
Confidence building for
puppies and timid dogs.
Does your pup flatten at the sound of a truck coming by or an unexpected noise? Is he afraid when something new suddenly appears in the home or along his usual walk?
Do you have a new puppy that you'd like to help grow their confidence?
​
In Let’s Be Brave you’ll learn how to read your dog’s body language, how scent work, teaching tricks, and interacting with obstacles, will build your dogs confidence.
You'll also learn elements of cooperative care – teaching your dog to take part in his care.
In Let’s Be Brave your dog will learn that that you’ve got his back and being brave makes good things happen.

"My recently adopted border collie, Jinx, and I attended Canine Prep Academy’s “Let’s Be Brave” class in the fall. Jinx is friendly, but is timid about new people, sounds and new situations. I’ve enjoyed all my classes with Lisa, but “Let’s Be Brave” was specially geared toward the timid dog. ....
Everything was designed so that the dogs could investigate each new stimulus at their own pace and with lots of encouragement and rewards. Each dog blossomed during the class, learning that tunnels, wobble boards, and boxes are not nearly as scary as they first appeared! They learned some cooperative care skills as well, which will help with future grooming and vet visits. Finally, and most importantly, everything was designed to help reinforce the bond between the dog and their handler. Jinx learned enough for us to start agility training, and I’m thrilled at her (new) willingness to try new equipment. I would recommend “Let’s Be Brave” to anyone looking to help their dog approach the world with more confidence." Marci S. - Student
