Our Behavior Modification Consultations Focus On Dogs Who Struggle In Their Daily Lives

We work with fearful dogs, aggressive dogs, frustrated dogs, over aroused dogs, and more! Our dog behavior modification training centers around meeting your dog’s needs and helping change your dog’s feelings about difficult situations while also teaching them new, safer behaviors. We teach you to read your dog’s body language, know when they need help and how to help them, and how to support them as they work & play our training games!

Fearful Dog Behavior Modification

Aggressive Dog Behavior Modification

We help dogs that resource guard a variety of things (including food, toys, space, their bodies, or people); dogs who bite or growl at family members or others; dogs who aggressively jump, mouth, and/or bark; and more!

Frustrated Dog Behavior Modification

Our Dog Behavior Modification Methodology

We help your dog where they’re at! Our goal is never to overwhelm your dog, because that’s not good training! Excessive stress negatively impacts your dog’s ability to learn and slows your progress! In fact, our goal isn’t to witness the problem behavior at all (We don’t need to in order to understand what’s going on, that’s why we talk through your dog’s history!).

Good dog behavior modification strives to work in situations that slowly approach the ones your dog struggles most with & a session’s pacing should be based on the progress and body language of your dog during that session. That way, by the time we get to the hard situation, your dog already has a good foundation and will understand what to do! Beyond that, you will feel confident in your handling and will know how and when to help your dog.
