Behavior problems

dog barking
It is still widely believed that “it is all in how you raisee them”, but the reality of the situation is: your dog doesn’t have behavior problems because you “didn’t raise them right”. And they don’t develop because you’re not “strict enough”, don’t do “enough obedience” or you’re not “tiring your dog out enough”. Sure, meeting your dog’s physical needs and consistency are super important, but behavior problems develop due to a mix of genetics, environment and your dog’s learning history.

I can help you understand your dog and figure out a way forward. You don’t need “calm energy” to help your dog. You need a behavior modification plan. We’ll select appropriate criteria and consequences for your dog to learn new, desired behaviors. The plan will take into consideration both yours and your dog’s needs. 

I recommend individual trainings if:
  • the problem occurs specifically where you live (i.e. human directed agression/reactivity, intrahousehold aggression between your dogs, reactivity)
  • the problem is so serious, that your dog isn’t suitable (yet) for group classes
  • you’r dealing with a phobia (i.e. car phobia, noise phobia)
  • you’d like to work with a plan fully tailored to your situation
