GROWLY & FEARFUL DOG CLASS

After careful consideration, we at Dog Training by PJ believe we can assist you better with your dog-dog reactive dog through private, one-on-one sessions. In a group environment it would be necessary for dogs to wear muzzles for safety. However, a private session the muzzle is generally not mandatory and eliminates the necessity to de-sensitize your dog to wear the muzzle. The gentle leader however is usually required with a 6-foot leash.

Please call us to discuss private training for your dog-dog reactive dog. 775-828-0748
