Course Details

3 WEEK CLASS - When dogs fight at home, it can be stressful—and even dangerous. We often choose dogs with big feelings because they shine in sports, but those same emotions can spill over at home. Even dogs who will never be best friends can learn to safely and calmly share spaces. 

This three‑week class helps you take practical, safe steps from where things are now to your next step for a more peaceful, manageable life with your dogs.

Christina Young, Certified Behaviour Consultant, has lived with intrahousehold aggression herself and knows first-hand the strain it puts on the whole household. In this webinar, we discuss how to teach dogs new habits, to teach them to use lower-level communication to prevent conflict, and how to move away when things are tense.

Teaching Approach:

Lectures are released weekly, with instructions provided in both written format (bullet points and steps) and video demonstrations. 

Each week includes targeted exercises and homework assignments designed to build specific skills, alongside lectures covering key concepts. Exercises build on each other throughout the course.

Intrahousehold dynamics make every situation unique— we will explore what helps your dogs the best. I'm highly flexible and happy to adjust materials to suit your specific needs. My priority is helping you and your dogs get the most out of our time together, with an understanding of the process so you can continue progressing after class ends.

Syllabus

View Full Syllabus

Week 1 - Concepts:

  • Management - perceived safety
  • Signs of stress
  • Parallel activities
  • Cool down periods

Planning - setting short, med, long term goals:

  • Where are you now?
  • What scenarios are the easiest next steps?
  • What scenarios are longer term goals to revisit later?

Training:

  • Move away skills: Stationing & Recall (trick based)

Week 2 - Individual skills / practicing separately

  • Get out of trouble games
  • Adding arousal safely - Recall and Send to station away from person//couch/boxes/chews - as is appropriate for that dog (comes from planning in week 1)

Week 3 - What affects the integration process?

  • arousal, thresholds, mealtimes, tired or sick dog, etc.
  • Choose one scenario from the short term goals & apply skills, together if appropriate, with separation or safety measures as needed
  • Wrap up - safety first. Go slowly, always at the dogs' pace. 

Prerequisites and Equipment

I will work with you wherever you are with your dogs. Ideally you have a ‘safe starting space’ you can work from, but if not I can help you find that spot.  

Equipment will vary by team but will likely include dog beds or platforms, barriers such as ex-pens or baby gates with blankets to cover them, and food toys such as a snufflemat or snufflebox.
