Big Feelings is a small-group training class created for dogs that struggle with reactivity and sensitivity. It is a good fit for dogs that bark or lunge on leash, become overstimulated by dogs, people, bikes, or movement, have trouble staying calm in public places, or shut down, freeze, or panic outside. This is not a free-for-all social session. Group size is intentionally limited so each dog can work safely, stay under threshold, and build confidence at a comfortable pace. Instruction focuses on improving leash handling, recognizing a dog’s threshold before reactions escalate, using practical coping strategies for reactivity, building engagement and focus around triggers, and developing real-world handling skills that translate to everyday walks. The goal is to help dogs and their handlers feel calmer, safer, and more confident together. The cost is $75 per dog. Proof of up-to-date rabies vaccination is required. Dogs remain leashed at all times and will be carefully spaced for safety and success. Capacity is very limited due to the hands-on format.
