Does your dog struggle with meeting new people with certain characteristics? Do you find yourself constantly navigating uncomfortable encounters with well-meaning strangers who don’t recognize the signs of canine stress? Our Stranger Danger Workshop is designed specifically for dog owners whose pets exhibit fear, anxiety, or reactive behavior around unfamiliar individuals.

In this professionally-led, hands-on workshop, you'll learn practical, compassionate strategies to help your dog feel more secure and supported in social settings. Key topics include:

• Understanding your dog’s body language and early warning signs of discomfort

• Techniques for calmly and effectively managing your dog’s reactions

• Building your dog’s confidence through positive exposure exercises

• Tactfully and confidently communicating boundaries to strangers who approach your dog

Whether your dog barks, hides, lunges, or simply shuts down in the presence of new people, this workshop will equip you with tools to reduce stress for both you and your dog. By focusing on clear communication, consent, and relationship-building, you’ll walk away with a better understanding of your dog’s needs and how to advocate for them in everyday situations.

Ideal for: Dogs who are fearful, shy, or reactive around unfamiliar people.
Format: Interactive workshop, Q&A, and practical exercises.
Led by: Amit Gorlicki, Dog Trainer & Behavior Specialist.
