This is a 6-week class and meets every week for 1-hour. as described on the Group Classes page.https://seattle.goodcitizendog.com/classregistration/advanced-meet-and-greet

The first class is “no dogs” and will be mandatory for all participants. If you cannot be there in person, we can try to get you on a zoom call. It is quite important to attend. all classes, but the first one is mandatory. During this session, we review the concepts and techniques used in class, discuss pertinent information about each dog and build trust among participants. In this first session, you will gain an understanding about how and why the class works. Classes 2 - 6 bring the dogs together at a variety of parks, schools and other public locations with progressive amounts of distraction and challenge.

Advanced Meet & Greet is Good CitiZEN Dog’s signature class. Our Tacoma reactive dog class is like no other training program in Western Washington . No other group does this class as effectively or so we’ve been told. Over the past 20 years we have graduated many hundreds of dogs and grateful dog owners from this amazing class who, after completion, found a new “leash on life”.

This class is primarily geared toward the development of impeccable attention and focus and to help dog owners gain more confidence and control of their dogs, primarily on leash. The class helps dogs that range from simply overexcited all the way to “fear-based” behaviors when encountering others on leash.

Whether you have an older rescue dog with an impoverished play or social history or a dog you’ve had since it was a puppy, this class will help you achieve expert handling skills. Using de-sensitizing and counter conditioning techniques, the dogs gain confidence in social settings while limiting and reversing patterns of unwanted behavior. It is a fabulous class and is taught by an expert who designed, developed and refined it over the last 18 years.

Make your walks and time spent with your dog more enjoyable to you and those around you. To register for this amazing class click on this link https://seattle.goodcitizendog.com/classregistration/advanced-meet-and-greet
