This program is currently unavailable. Click here to view all of our current programs.


Does your beloved dog snap, snarl, growl, bark, or lunge at other dogs or people? Do you walk your dog early in the morning or late at night to avoid others on the trail? Do you ever wonder if your dog can be retrained to change these behaviors?

The answer is YES and Rod Sparkowich, President of Coastal K9 LLC, will be here on June 20th, 6-7:30pm to share with us where dog aggression comes from, why it happens, types of dog aggression, and the ways training can help. Rod will discuss basic training fundamentals such as operant conditioning, moment marker usage, etc. Participants will be encouraged to ask questions and share any experiences they have had with this topic.

If you have a dog like this or just have an interest in dogs, you are sure to learn a lot from Rod!

**This workshop is for humans only. We will be scheduling further workshops that will include your dog.
