Resources

Here at SCCC we understand that the cost of training is not always accessible to everyone.

Below are a list of alternatives such as books, podcasts, and online courses at little to no cost. When feasible, we do strongly recommend finding someone to support you in person if your dog is struggling with aggression or reactivity. These resources are also not a substitute for puppy socialization or training.
