Pliant Pack Positive Dog Training

Join us next Wednesday to learn all about aggression! These seminars are designed for pet professionals, rescue workers, and owners alike. Learn how to prevent, manage, and resolve aggression in dogs!

Reactivity & Aggression Seminar October 25th

This seminar is perfect for those who work with dogs, are getting/have gotten a new dog, or have a dog who has big feelings, even if they aren’t coming out as aggressive at this point!

Week 4 of our reactive k9 class! We are so proud of our students and their pups, everyone is doing an amazing job. Email [email protected] to register and get your walks from being loud to proud!

Shuffle and Fletcher showing off their leash skills today! These boys have been buddies since Shuffle was a baby.

Monty and his human had a wonderful (but wet) session today with our trainer Ali! We worked on leash reactivity and by the end of our hour together he was calmly passing working dog Bear and staying under threshold!

Recall on a dime! Want your off leash time to look like this? Email [email protected] to join the wait list for our Reliable Recall workshops! We will be announcing dates soon, get ahead of the rush and ensure your spot!

Bill has been ROCKING puppy manners! Check him out holding a sit stay even after he got some cuddles. He is showing great understanding of waiting to be released.

Bojack has a pretty serious aversion to handling, so we are working on helping him get comfortable with it! In this session you will see our trainer and human aggression specialist Leesa counter conditioning the leash! See his tail stop wagging when it comes out? Pairing it with hot dogs can change his feelings from anxious to happy when the leash comes out! Ending our session with some consent petting and movement for some decompression. He is on a tether for safety in case he has a negative reaction towards the handler. Way to go Boji!

It’s Milo’s first play with a dog today! We are over the moon for this sweet guy. ❤️

Duke is always such an attentive learner during his train & walks!

Ahsoka is having her first play with another dog today! We are so proud of this girl and her owners for doing their homework so well! When we met Ahsoka a short time ago she was very reactive, struggled to settle on her own and wasn’t familiar with a muzzle. By putting in the foundation work she is absolutely thriving at her board and train!
