Behavioral Training

Why Choose Behavioral Training?

Behavioral training is essential for addressing and modifying undesirable behaviors that can disrupt your household or affect your dog's well-being. With proper guidance, you can:

• Reduce Problem Behaviors: Address issues such as excessive barking, jumping, chewing, or digging.
• Reduce Stress: Help your dog feel more secure and confident in various situations.
• Strengthen Your Bond: Build trust and understanding through effective communication.

Our Behavioral Training Program

Identifying Root Causes

We begin by understanding the underlying causes of your dog’s behavior. Using psychology and science-based principles, we:

• Assess environmental triggers and stressors.
• Identify any unmet needs contributing to the behavior.
• Develop a tailored plan to address specific challenges.

Varied Reinforcement Methods

Utilizing a balance between reinforcing desirable behaviors while correcting undesirable behaviors can aid in your dog understanding right from wrong. We focus on teaching alternative, desirable behaviors using positive reinforcement. Training includes:

• Redirecting negative behaviors to constructive outlets.
• Reinforcing calm, focused actions.
• Building resilience in stressful situations.

Choice-Oriented Training

Allowing your dog the opportunity to make decisions in controlled situations is key to adopting new behavioral patterns:

• Resist common triggers such as food, other animals, or visitors.
• Practice patience and focus in stimulating environments.
• Develop consistent self-control over time.

Breed-Specific Outlets

Many of the behaviors we struggle with when it comes to our dogs are actually a part of their biological and evolutionary history.

By better understanding their roots and creating structured time for dogs to herd, hunt, chase and otherwise, we can make a big difference in the dog’s training and day to day behavior.
