Group Training

Understanding and learning how to communicate is key to building a strong bond and having the best relationship with your dog.

Whether your dog is shy or reactive, group training in a safe environment gives you a “real world” opportunity to learn and practice the “engagement and communication skills” taught by LARPBO.

Community Packwalks

Socialization is very important for the overall health and well being of your dog. Dogs, like humans, are social creatures, it has a lot to do with why we get along. Too many dogs are under socialized. Packwalks provide a safe, controlled setting, to be around other dogs without the pressure of meeting.

For shy and reactive dogs, packwalks are a great way to build tolerance or desensitize them safely.

We hope this message finds you and your loved ones safe and well during this chaotic time. In light of everything happening, our team has made the decision to postpone all classes and pack walks this weekend. Whether you’re directly affected or not, our number one priority is always the health and safety of our community. If you’re registered for a class this weekend, we’ll automatically roll your registration over to the following weekend. If you’re unable to attend due to scheduling conflicts, please let us know, and we’ll gladly credit you for a future class. During this time, please take care of yourselves, limit outdoor activity when needed, and don’t hesitate to reach out if there’s anything we can do - whether that’s answering questions, providing resources, or just being here to support you. The beauty of this community is that we’re here for one another, not just in the good times but also in the challenging ones. Thank you for your understanding, and we can’t wait to see you and your dogs again soon. Stay safe, The LARPBO Team #larpbo #larpbocommunity #larpbodog #larpbodogtraining #staysafe
