Barking can feel frustrating, exhausting, and sometimes even embarrassing — especially for service dog handlers and owner trainers who worry that barking means they are “failing.”
But barking is communication.
Whether your dog barks from excitement, stress, uncertainty, frustration, or alerting, this workshop was designed to help you better understand why barking happens and how to work through it with compassion, teamwork, and practical training games.
Inside this free workshop, you’ll learn:

How to help your dog disengage from distractions
Easy reinforcement games that build calmer behavior
Better communication skills between you and your dog
