Does your dog need to work on their social skills and are you unable to find somewhere or someone you can introduce your dogs to because of their social issues? Social rehab is ideal if your dog's obedience has improved through Boarding and Training, or you are a 2 Week Intensive, or an AAI graduate or 4 Day Fast Track customer but you still require help for your dog to progress socially. We can honestly say there is no other service or opportunity like it in our industry.

If you need professional help to rehabilitate your dog's social issues, these specialist classes run by experienced Senior Alpha Trainers are open to dogs at all levels and take the concepts taught in all of Alpha's training services to another level. Any dog-to-dog introductions are done with highly trained and sociable dogs who are safe because they will not be engaged in aggression.

These specialist social rehabilitation sessions are for owners with dogs that are not sociable or controllable around other dogs or people and cannot participate in Off Lead Play. Whether your dog is just starting to experiment, or the unacceptable behaviours are more established, these sessions will help to manage and/or rehabilitate anti-social behaviour.
