Behavior Intensive for Fearful & Anxious Dogs

4 Days Over 2 Weekends (Non-Consecutive)

This program is a behavior-focused owner intensive designed specifically for dogs who are fearful, anxious, or lacking confidence. It is not an obedience program. The goal is to help you understand your dog’s emotional responses and learn how to support, guide, and build confidence safely and humanely.

• 4 total training days

• Split across 2 weekends (2 days each)

• Weekends do not need to be consecutive

• Both weekends must be completed within 3 months

• 1:00–5:00 PM each day, with breaks included

• Held on Fulton Ranch in a controlled, supportive environment

This program focuses on changing how your dog feels, not just how they behave.

What We’ll Work On

Training is individualized and centered on your dog’s emotional needs, commonly including:

• Building confidence in everyday situations

• Understanding and reducing fear responses

• Addressing common anxiety triggers, such as:
  

• Crate discomfort

• Leash pressure or hesitation

• Stairways or new surfaces

• Meeting unfamiliar people

• Fear-based reactivity (barking, freezing, avoidance, or overreaction)

• Supporting shy or sensitive dogs without forcing or flooding

• Understanding genetic influences on fear, sensitivity, and stress tolerance

Owners will learn how to recognize stress signals, adjust their handling, and create environments that help their dog feel safe enough to learn.

Equipment

• No equipment is included

• Please bring your own leash, collar or harness, and any tools you currently use

• Equipment recommendations will be discussed based on your dog’s comfort and needs

Who This Program Is For

This intensive is a good fit if:

• Your dog is fearful, anxious, or insecure

• Your dog struggles with new environments, people, or handling

• You want to help your dog feel safer and more confident

• You are patient, observant, and willing to work at your dog’s pace

• You want education and guidance—not pressure-based methods

Who This Program Is NOT For

This program is not the right fit if:

• You are looking for obedience training or command work

• Your dog has severe human aggression

• You want fast results or expect fear to disappear quickly

• You are unwilling to slow down or adjust expectations

• You are looking to “push through” fear rather than address it thoughtfully

Fear-based behavior requires time, understanding, and consistency.
