Understanding Dog Anxiety and Building Confidence

  Join host Michele Forto as she discusses how dog owners can better understand anxiety and how to build confidence in their furry companions.  When working with our dogs, we want to teach them new skills, build their confidence, and have fun together.

Here are things to keep in mind if your dog gets anxious as you train together.
