Course Details
Does your dog struggle to meet other dogs, share space, or share you? And yet — you're dreaming of a puppy?
It can be done. But it takes a plan.
In this session we'll walk through two real case studies, with video, showing how we integrated new puppies into homes with reactive dogs: how to break things down, what to watch for, and when it's safe to move to the next step.
