Therapy Dog Training in Spokane Valley, WA

Structured Support for Anxiety, Fear, Reactivity, and Aggression

If your dog lunges at other dogs, reacts around unfamiliar people, or struggles with fear, anxiety, or aggression, a standard obedience program may not match the level of support needed. Off Leash K9 Training of Spokane, LLC offers a 4 Week Behavior Modification Board and Train program serving Spokane Valley.

This immersive program is intended for dogs with minor behavior-modification needs involving anxiety, fear, timidity, reactivity, or aggression around dogs or people. Program eligibility depends on your dog’s behavior history, previous incidents, and individual needs.

The 4 Week Behavior Modification Board and Train is an immersive program for dogs with minor behavior-modification needs involving anxiety, fear, timidity, reactivity, or aggression around dogs or people.

  • Time to develop stronger habits

Owner Turnover and Education Session

At the completion of the four-week program, owners participate in a private two- to three-hour hands-on session with the trainer.

During this session, the trainer:

  • Reviews the commands introduced during training
  • Demonstrates proper handling techniques
  • Explains how to maintain the structure your dog learned
  • Provides guided practice while you work directly with your dog
  • Answers questions about applying the training at home

Owner participation remains important after the dog returns home. Following the trainer’s instructions and completing the assigned homework helps maintain consistency after formal training ends.

Start With a Free Phone Consultation

The free phone consultation provides a starting point for discussing your dog’s behavior history, previous training, known concerns, and your goals.

Be prepared to discuss:

  • The behavior you are currently seeing
  • Situations in which the behavior occurs
  • Fear, anxiety, timidity, reactivity, or aggression
  • Whether the behavior involves dogs, people, or both
  • Previous attacks or bites
  • Previous obedience or behavior training
  • Your goals for training and management

Provide complete and accurate information about previous incidents. Because the published program is intended for minor behavior-modification needs, bite history or severe behavior may affect eligibility.

The consultation is not presented as a veterinary behavior assessment or medical service. Sudden or unexplained behavior changes should also be discussed with your veterinarian to determine whether pain, illness, or another health concern may be involved.

A Program for Minor Behavior-Modification Needs

Dogs can display unwanted behavior for different reasons and in different situations. Some react around unfamiliar people, while others struggle when they encounter dogs or specific triggers.

The 4 Week Behavior Modification Board and Train is designed for minor concerns involving:

  • Anxiety
  • Fear
  • Timidity
  • Reactivity
  • Aggression around dogs
  • Aggression around people
  • Other related minor behavior-modification needs

The published list is not exhaustive. Owners should explain the behavior they are seeing during the free phone consultation so the team can determine whether the program may be suitable.

Dogs with serious aggression, severe anxiety, bite histories, or other complex concerns may not fit a program designed for minor behavior-modification needs. Disclose all previous incidents before enrolling.
