Enrolling my dog into the Sidewalk Psychos class has been the most effective and encouraging step with helping my dog with her leash aggression. After graduating, she is more manageable on her outdoor walks, and I've even noticed how much happier she is in general. These classes also helped me become more confident as a dog owner, and I cannot thank trainers Kate and Anna enough for making this such a positive experience.

I'm beyond happy to report that since our first Sidewalk Psychos class, our dog has vastly improved. We're currently passing 8 out of 10 dogs on the same sidewalk with no issues. The other 2 out of 10 we choose not to pass by assessing the situation with the knowledge we gained from School For The Dogs. School For The Dogs has not only made our dog happier and less fearful, they've also given us peace of mind

We did two rounds of Sidewalk Psychos Level 2 with Kate and you could really see the improvement! In round one it was really laying down the foundations and making sure we could slowly get him comfortable being around so many dogs. By the time we did this class again Totto was an absolute champ. He was so well behaved Kate would occasionally use him as the helper dog to show everyone what we needed to do. Other than Totto's anxiety level dropping significantly in the classes, the best thing we learned was how to read his signals. Kate was able to explain and show us when he was stressed and anxious. That way we all knew how far to push him in class and when to give him a break.
