Behavior Modification

Behavior modification, also known as behavior rehabilitation or behavior resolution, is a training method that aims to change a dog's reaction to situations, people, objects, or animals. The goal is to increase desirable behaviors and decrease unwanted ones, by transforming your dogs emotional responses to what is triggering them.

Behavior modification can help with a wide range of issues, including: 

  • Fear of noises, being touched, new people, other animals etc.

  • Separation anxiety 

  • Excessive barking 

  • Resource guarding 

  • Excessive attention-seeking 

  • Compulsive based behaviors 

  • and more!

We understand how important it is to see progress with your dogs behavior, and thats why its crucial to know that Behavior Modification is a journey! Transforming your dog's emotional responses and underlying experiences and creating lasting change takes time, patience, and consistent effort. Every dog is unique, and the pace of progress can vary. Our goal is to support you and your dog every step of the way, celebrating small victories and building towards long-term success.

A consult is required prior to any lesson in order to discuss your dog's specific behavioral issues and the context in which they occur. We'll dive into your dog's history, including any past experiences that may have contributed to the current behavior. Together, we'll identify triggers and patterns, and set realistic goals for what you hope to achieve through training. We'll also explain our approach to focusing on changing your dog's emotional responses and addressing underlying causes. You'll receive an outline of a customized training plan tailored to your dog's needs, along with initial strategies and techniques to begin the modification process. This collaborative consultation ensures we understand your dog's unique situation and set a solid foundation for effective behavior change.
