A NOBLE BEAST DOG TRAINING CLASS

Have you completed our Prickly Pooch Level 1 Class and feel that you and your dog need a few more tools in your toolbox, a few more weeks of coaching, and a bit more practice in a controlled training environment?


If so then you probably have seen a notable decrease in your dogs reactivity while on leash, and they have likely made some progress being around other dogs/people.  For those fearful Prickly's, you're probably seeing a decent boost in confidence, along with at least a willingness to be present with  other dogs/people - and you and your pup are now ready or Prickly Pooch Level 2!


Our Prickly Pooch LEVEL 2 Class covers:


  • Continued confidence building through interactive games
  • Recognizing and practicing CUT OFF signals for dogs, as well as continued coaching to help your dog move past triggers.
  • Solidifying your understanding of systematic desensitization to help your dog's continued acceptance of triggers.
  • Strengthening automatic eye contact and partnership on leash.
  • Continuance of relaxation protocols and practicing of calm excitement.
  • Interactive group work with other Prickly Pooches in class, or at the very least, using systematic desensitization to get closer to other dogs and/or people!


We designed this class as a level up to our Prickly Pooch Level 1 class, to further help you help your dog by managing thresholds and environments and providing you with additional support and tools to help your dog cope with the outside world.  Our goal is to help you feel confident in creating more opportunities for your dog to join in life!   


After graduating from our Prickly Pooch Level 1 class, you should have a solid gauge on your dog’s behavior, but with the controlled environment of this class and a bit more coaching and support - its the cherry on the top, solidifying behavior success!  Our strategic setup includes a lot of space and visual barriers, which allow us to provide an environment where your sensitive dog can feel safe and learn. We will continue to guide you through exercises that will promote alternative behaviors to their reactivity or avoidance.

  • Detailed Description

    Because this is a class full of sensitive dogs and to be sure that everyone is absolutely safe in the rare instance a leash is dropped, your dog will be required to be muzzled while entering and exiting the building.  However, if your dog has never been muzzled before, we will be sure to email you muzzle training instructions so that your pup is nice and comfortable in a muzzle before you start class. 



    For those of you uncomfortable with the idea of muzzling your dog, here is a great article to read by the great Nan Arthur – http://www.clickertraining.com/node/3948



    In choosing a muzzle for your dog, we suggest Basket Muzzles, which are very comfortable for the dogs, allowing them to pant, drink water, and take treats.  Mesh or cloth muzzles that clamp the mouth shut, are used typically in emergency situations for short term muzzling and will not allow your dog to pant, drink water, or take treats.  Although your dog will only be required to wear a muzzle while entering and exiting the building, being muzzled trained is a great thing to teach your dog and gives you much more freedom to interact with other dogs and people as it will ensure there will be no injury if contact with other beings happens.  As well, if you need help finding and fitting a muzzle, we do sell muzzles at the Noble Beast Dog Training & Education Center (4335 Vine Street, Denver, CO  80216), as well as treats, treat pouches, and front clip harnesses – all of which we require for class (except the front clip harness – which is highly recommended).



    We cap this class at a 4-dog max.

  • Payment

    Payment must be made prior to your first class AND no refunds will be honored 72 hours prior to a class start date, due to the limited number of dogs in class.


  • Missed Classes

    In group classes, a no-show results in the loss of that session; make-ups are not possible. The client can still access the homework sent by the class trainer and is welcome to ask questions about the material covered in the missed session. These questions must be sent in writing via email to the trainer at least 24 hours prior to the next scheduled class session. It is the client’s responsibility to comply with the established schedule.
