Beginner Group Class / 100L
Build a solid foundation with a six week beginner group class held indoors at Leash Free Living in Millersville. In a small group setting, participants work on core skills including Heel, Sit, Stand, Down, Come, Stay, and Place, then learn how to use these cues to redirect and replace unwanted behaviors. Training follows a balanced approach that blends positive reinforcement through food, praise, and play with clear pressure and release guidance on a slip leash. The goal is a positive learning experience for the dog along with a communication system that remains reliable around distractions. Methods and tools are adjusted to suit each dog and handler team. Do not bring your dog to the first class. A minimum of four students is required for the class to run. If enrollment is low, the class will be canceled and payments refunded in full. Sessions may be rescheduled due to inclement weather with advance email notification, and when that occurs a make up class is typically added the week after the course concludes at the same day and time unless otherwise noted. Students or dogs that disrupt the group may be dismissed, and any remaining class credits can be applied to a different training program. Unenrollment is fully refundable if requested at least 72 hours before the first class. After that point, group classes are non refundable and non transferable. Make up sessions are not offered, though students may schedule a 30 minute private appointment at the facility with an apprentice trainer to cover missed material for $50.

The Get Permission Approach to Anxious Eaters, Anxious Mealtimes
An in-person training at Keller Williams Realty Flagship of Maryland introduces the Get Permission Approach for anxious eaters and challenging mealtimes. This interactive session covers responsive feeding practices grounded in research for individuals who feel cautious around food. It looks closely at eaters often labeled picky by considering emotions, sensory and neurobiological factors, neurodiverse learning styles, environments, how foods are presented, and past experiences that shape choices. Participants examine current findings in feeding and brain science that are changing practice, the reasons to move away from the picky label, and how lived experience strengthens support for each child and their family. The approach centers on a trusting feeding relationship. Adults choose what is offered and guide therapy, while the child sets the pace. Children are the experts on their own feelings, and the adult role is to listen with empathy and respond to what is being communicated in the moment. The focus shifts from compliance to emotional and sensory safety, from external rewards to internal motivation, from doing to children to working with them, and from directing bites to offering appropriate, stepwise opportunities. The session blends lecture, case video examples, and active participation so attendees leave with practical treatment strategies presented through a compassionate lens.
