Pet Harmony’s approach to enrichment is a powerful, straightforward process for enhancing life with our pets and is a necessary foundation for ethical behavior change. Emly and Allie have developed a time-tested method for teaching enrichment to trainers and pet guardians, and they will share it with you in this class.

In this 4-unit, 5-week class, you will learn how behavioral and physical needs manifest in behaviors that may not align with a pet guardian's needs. You will learn to assess individual behaviors as components of whole behavior repertoires, discovering how sustained behavior change is often less about rigorous training and more about supporting the whole learner.

If you share your life with a small dog or work with many small-dog clients, you likely encounter scenarios where the dog is disadvantaged due to their compact size. With the world being much larger than the dog, it can be easy for small dogs to feel overwhelmed. By making minor adjustments to how you navigate the world, you can help any small dog feel safe and secure. No need to sweat the small stuff (or dog, in this case); this class will help give you the knowledge and skill to create the space for a confident, empowered, and well-adjusted small dog in a world much larger than they are. 

In this 4-unit, 5-week LIVE Class, Mallory will teach you the steps she takes with her small-dog clients to ensure they are capable of big things. This class is a brief but deep dive into living with petite pooches. While it’s often easiest to manage or handle small dogs, handlers frequently remove much of the dog’s autonomy and opportunity in doing so. Mallory will set you up for success from the start by emphasizing choice, predictability, control, and positive reinforcement every step of the way. You will learn how to train and teach the behaviors Mallory has found to be the most useful to her clients time and time again.

In this four-unit, 5 week LIVE class, aggression specialist Michael Shikashio will teach you his proven approach to staying safe while handling and working with dogs—from dogs new to you with an unknown history to those you know with an established bite history. This is the most comprehensive leash-handling skills class Michael offers, taught by Michael, one of the most well-versed aggression experts in the business.

You will learn about the safety tools, proactive set-ups, and various defensive leash-handling techniques critical to creating and maintaining a safe environment. If you are a dog trainer, veterinary professional, shelter or rescue staff member, or an animal control officer and want to learn how to avoid dog-bite incidents, this class will equip you with the tools to maximize safety on both ends of the leash. This LIVE class will cover preemptive measures to take when handling a dog with a history of aggression and the emergency techniques to employ during an attack.
