Shy Dog Class

Is your dog nervous around new people, slow to adapt to new situations, or frightened of noises or objects?

Lake Mills Veterinary Clinic is offering a new Shy Dog Class, taught by Mittsy Voiles, a certified trainer and behaviorist. The class will consist of three sessions on August 7th, 14th, and 21st from 1:00 – 2:00 PM at the HSJC.

The Shy Dog class will help your dog build lasting confidence, teach you skills to continue your dog’s learning beyond the class, and show you some “emergency response” techniques to get out of sticky situations while your dog is in training.

We’ll work on techniques to introduce your dog to new people, learn ways to help your dog get more comfortable with new objects or environments, and help you understand how to read your dog’s body language more clearly.

Please note that this class is not intended for dogs who are reactive/aggressive toward other dogs, on or off leash. If your dog has this problem, please contact us for classes and other services available to treat leash-reactivity and dog-to-dog aggression.

Pre-registration is required. This class is heavily in demand, and is offered twice each year. If you have questions, or you’d like to sign up, please call (920-648-2421) or email lmvc2421@yahoo.com to reserve your spot! The cost of the three-week series is $75.
