Social Misfit Program

---

We often see dogs coming from rescues and shelters that lack confidence and are afraid of their surroundings and new owners. This particular program is designed for dogs that have displayed fear of humans, fear of leashes, sounds, places, changes, etc. 

Other examples are cowering, urinating/defecating when in fearful situations, hiding behind or under furniture and people, and excessive whining, crying, or screaming in uncomfortable situations. Growling and barking at people and/or dogs that they are afraid of. This program addresses all levels of reactivity and lower levels of aggression.

Utilizing scientifically proven methods through positive based training, in this approximately 8 to 12 week course your dog will be taught parts of our foundational Empowerment Program and learn improved confidence through emotional regulation.

What is included:

- 8- 12 individual private lessons

- Equipment (Leash, Treat Pouch, Training Collar, Place Board, 30ft Leash)

- 1 Year of Service & Support in our Patriot Pals Alumni
