Question on Google
My 6 month German shepherd puppy is very timid around strangers (we think his last owners abused him) and other dogs and will whine and almost throw up from fear. Is he still welcome here since it might be harder for him to be with other dogs/people?

Yes! They really understand dogs, and how their brains work, and will help you to not only understand your dog's behavior better, but IF you put in the time and work, will help you strengthen the bond and trust between you and your dog.

Yes! I would highly recommend a behavior consult and they will recommend the best next steps for your pup. We have a fearful dog and they are helpful and caring. But, also expect to do some hard work to teach your pup and yourselves how to communicate and deal with those fears. They will help you do that work, for sure. Good luck!!

This center focuses on the relationship with owner and the dog. Not dog with other dog relationships. They are also very experienced with behavior needs and training to help. :) see what a behavioral consult can help you with :)

I am a foster for Austin Animal Center. One of the dogs had a concerning history and needed some training that required a two week board and train. After the two weeks were up, I drove to the Canine Center for a training/hand-off session. It was a very informative experience! Special thanks to the Friends of Austin Animal Center for sponsoring animals that need extra care. Canelo and I am grateful for the support.

Jane and her team helped us gain a better understanding of our rescue dog, his challenges, and how to set him up for success. The training we received was a game changer for our whole family. Even in the group classes, attention and individual instruction is given to each dog. We recently moved and the Canine Center is one of the things we miss the most.
