Sunday, May 22, 2022 Reactivity Series With Underdog Academy Saturday June 4th, 2022 3:00 PM until 04:00 PM Location: Pup Plaza 14408 Union Avenue San Jose CA 95124 Reactivity Series With Underdog Academy Does your dog overreact (growl, lunge, bark) when they see dogs, people, or other stimuli? Underdog Academy's 2-part Reactivity Series will get you started on the path to improved leash skills and calmer outings. This is designed in 2 sessions. The first session will cover management, defensive handling, and foundation training for focus. The second session will dive into desensitization and counter-conditioning to address the emotional components of your dog's reactivity.
If you feel your dog will not do well or be able to focus in an active environment of people and dogs, even with a visual barrier provided, you should consider the 'audit' option. This allows you to view the classes outside of the instruction arena without your dog present.

This will help you predict their behavior, evaluate your training or behavior modification sessions, and bring you closer to your pup. We will discuss why a wagging tail doesn’t always mean “happy”, and why that cute dog-and-baby moment might not be as heartwarming as you think - except when it is! **This is a lecture only event - please leave your dogs at home!** Stacy Braslau-Schneck, the owner of Stacy’s Wag’N’Train, has been a professional dog trainer for over 25 years. Her intense interest in behavior led her to getting a Master’s degree in “human and animal cognition”, and she continues to upkeep her education to ensure that the teaching and training methods she uses are the most effective and humane for both dogs and their people. She holds several certifications in dog training, teaching, and more from several independent evaluating agencies, and she is happy to talk about dogs, training, and behavior to everyone!

Focus Your Dog's Attention! Saturday July 27th, 2024 1:00 PM until 02:30 PM Location: Pup Plaza 14408 Union Avenue San Jose CA 95124 This workshop is designed to help you manage your dog's attention more effectively. These exercises, based on Leslie McDevitt’s “Control Unleashed” system, are great for teaching dogs to focus their attention on their owners, resulting in better recalls, less pulling on a walk, and even being able to pass by distractions such as cats, squirrels, and other dogs or humans that your pup might normally over-react to! Friendly, non-aggressive dogs are welcome to attend with their handlers. Please indicate if you intend to bring a dog with you in your registration. If your dog is reactive, we ask that you keep your dog at home, but highly encourage you to join us and learn some exercises to practice at home! Stacy Braslau-Schneck, the owner of Stacy’s Wag’N’Train, has been a professional dog trainer for over 25 years. Her intense interest in behavior led her to getting a Master’s degree in “human and animal cognition”, and she continues to upkeep her education to ensure that the teaching and training methods she uses are the most effective and humane for both dogs and their people. She holds several certifications in dog training, teaching, and more from several independent evaluating agencies, and she is happy to talk about dogs, training, and behavior to everyone! You can find her services and read more about her at http://www.wagntrain.com/about-stacy/ Doga Sunday August 4th, 2024 9:30 AM until 10:30 AM Location: Pup Plaza 14408 Union Avenue San Jose CA 95124 Cost: $15 Your Doga instructor will guide you and your pup through a 60-minute yoga practice and provide moments throughout the class for you to bond, reward, and breathe with your dog.
