Overview of Relaxation Program

If your dog is always go-go-go and is constantly getting into trouble, you may need to teach your dog how to relax.

As with all my training programs, we start with the Intro Lesson where we'll focus on making sure your dog's base needs are met. Sometimes when we just adjust that plan, the problem behaviors your dog is showing go away, or lessen considerably, which is the easiest and most efficient way of changing your dog's behavior!

Think of it like a young student's disruptive behaviors in class going away when they get a good breakfast and recess.

For more information, you can visit the Intro Lesson Page here.

In the supported training portion, I'll select a specific relaxation protocol that I think will work well for you and your dog, we'll create routines to encourage standard times of the day for relaxation, and we'll tackle any specific triggers that cause your dog to not be able to relax.

Inability to Relax

Timing/Scheduling for Program

Most relaxation protocols take longer than 6 weeks to really help a dog to relax, but by the end of the supported training, most dogs and their humans feel prepared to continue the training on their own. I find that most teams do well meeting every other week if you are doing the Coaching Track.

Coaching or Pro Daytrain Track?

If your dog has virtually no ability to relax, even when you're not home, the Pro Daytrain track may be a good fit as I can work directly with them to start that concept. If, however, your dog does relax, but is constantly go only when you are around, or only during certain parts of the day, Pro Daytrain may not be effective as it's very context-dependent, and I likely won't be able to recreate that context.
