Program One:
Zen Program
This thoughtful, respectful, and innovative approach to communicate with your dog can help eliminate the conflict in your training and relationship while getting the behaviour you want and less of what you don't want. This approach creates a close, trusting, and enjoyable relationship for both the dog and their people.
Is your dog anxious, hyper-intense, fearful, or reactive? We prioritize understanding and appreciating the internal state of the animal, aiming to genuinely change how the animal feels about people, other animals, and things in the environment—not just focusing on external behaviour.
In this program, we focus on teaching your dog how to let go of frustrated or hectic energy and relax on their own.
Once your dog has acquired the skill of self-relaxation, it empowers them with the capability to consciously opt for relaxation during moments of stress, anxiety, heightened excitement, or reactivity.
Over the last 14 years of owning the Second Pup, we have carefully gathered a selection of the most effective activities and exercises, chosen for their simplicity and ease of practice in the comfort of your home alongside your furry friend.
