Leading the way, LEK9s' Stranger Danger program is tailored for dogs that experience fear, anxiety, or reactivity towards unfamiliar people. Whether your dog is shy, overly protective, or dealing with fear and uncertainty, this class is designed to build confidence and encourage positive behavior around strangers.

What the Program Covers:

1. Desensitization & Counterconditioning: Gradually exposing your dog to strangers in a controlled, positive way to reduce fear and anxiety.

2. Confidence Building: Teaching your dog to feel more secure and calm in new or unpredictable situations.

3. Handler Skills: Helping you understand your dog’s body language and triggers, while providing tools to manage their behavior effectively.

4. Safe Socialization: Creating positive interactions to replace fear-driven reactions with calm and neutral responses.

Who Is This Program For?

This program is ideal for dogs of all ages that:

• Bark, growl, or lunge when approached by strangers.

• Are fearful, shy, or nervous in public or social settings and around new people.

• Have had limited or negative experiences with unfamiliar people.
