Congratulations to all the reactive recovery graduates!!! 👏 🎓

08/10/2024

Registration is now available for the upcoming Reactive Recovery class for those that have missed out on the last few. Class will be held at Doggonit: 6:30pm Mondays September 9th-October 7th Registration is available here: https://doggonitnh.com/register-and-pay/?product_id=3782

If your dog has BIG feelings when they see other dogs this is the class for you! Does your dog bark and lunge at other dogs? Are walks stressful? Is your dog out of control on a leash? Get ready to help your dog make better choices when they see another dog, improve their focus on you, and feel calmer- all with fun games and exercises. We will focus on giving each dog the skills they need to succeed, and put these skills into practice in a safe environment.

First week is for humans only to provide you with all the info you need to get started without worrying about having to manage your dog.

This class will be run by two instructors to ensure you and your dog receive more specialized attention. Spots are limited!

** Currently limited for vocal but friendly dogs only. If you are unsure if this is a good fit for you, please sign up for a private lesson first so we can evaluate your dog. We offer a 4 week private reactive recovery course if you feel your dog is not ready for a group setting. Visit the private lessons page for more info.

Please keep your dogs safe and happy for the upcoming fireworks! Its always good to prepare ahead of time with some of the following tips:
1. Make sure your dog has a well fit non slip collar on with ID tags
2. Leave them at home. Most dogs do not want to be a part of the celebration
3.Make sure he/she has a safe place to hide (crate).
4.Leave music and fans on to drown out the sound of fireworks.
5. Provide plenty of interactive busy toys to keep them content: (Frozen peanut butter Kongs are great!)
6. Thundershirts are great but you can make your own with an old Tshirt as well
7. Make sure they go out to potty and exercise ON LEASH prior to 9pm when we should expect most of the noise to happen ( which means feeding them dinner a bit earlier would be a good idea)

Happy 4th everyone!! Lets keep our loved ones safe ❤ Have a great time!

Does your dog have a good nose?! Lets put it to work this summer! Upcoming Scent class now available for registration!!

Scentwork is a positive way to tap into your dog’s natural instincts! Join our beginners nosework class to put your dog’s nose, mind, and body to work. This course will guide you through teaching your dog to hunt for tasty treats as they interact with a variety of environments and objects. As a handler, you will learn how to set up and perform searches and how to gradually challenge your dog as they master the art of the hunt. Nosework is the sport for every dog, from younger pups to older, active to disabled, and nervous to outgoing. A few benefits of scent work include the calming effect of continuous inhales and exhales during the search, confidence building as they find hidden treats, and for you, a bond with your now sleepy, fulfilled pup. Please note, this class is currently only open to dogs that are friendly and non reactive towards other dogs and strangers.

Your dog should wear a back clip harness
6’ nylon, canvas or leather leash. No chained leashes or Flexi-leads please!
Please bring a long line-10-15 ft is great.
Instructor: Camryn
5:30pm Tuesdays July 23rd-Aug 20th

I started working with this girl when she was just 10 wks old and we have built a strong relationship over the past year full of trust and love. Her brother Coal joined in the celebration as well. I am always so honored to share these special moments. Thanks for letting me in kids, ill never take it for granted. ♥️
