Boost Your Dog’s Confidence with Our Games-Based Training for Shy and Timid Pups!

| May 28, 2025

Is your dog shy around new people, nervous in unfamiliar environments, or hesitant to try new things? You’re not alone—and we’ve got just the class to help. 

Introducing Confidence Club: Games-Based Training for Shy and Timid Dogs, a brand-new, fun, and supportive course offered by Toronto Humane Society! This class runs for 6 weeks, for $156, and is specially designed to help sensitive dogs come out of their shell through positive reinforcement and play-based learning. 

Why Confidence Club?

Confidence Club uses engaging activities like obstacle courses, interactive puzzles, and pattern games to gently encourage your dog to try new experiences and build trust—in both you and the world around them. It’s not just about training—it’s about growth, fun, and connection. 

By creating a low-pressure environment where your dog can succeed at their own pace, we help develop: 

  • Greater resilience in new situations 
  • Improved focus and engagement 
  •  A stronger bond between you and your dog 
  •  A happier, more confident canine companion! 

Is This Class Right for My Dog?

Confidence Club is ideal for dogs who are: 

  • Timid in new situations 
  • Nervous around unfamiliar people or environments 
  • Hesitant to explore or engage in new experiences 

However, if your dog experiences high levels of anxiety or shows signs of distress in new settings, we recommend starting with a private consultation to ensure the best support possible. 

Give your shy dog the gift of confidence and connection. Spaces are limited, so be sure to reserve your spot today!
