More About Behavior Modification...
Without addressing your dog's underlying fear/ anxiety/ reactivity, managing them with obedience can actually make it worse! Not that there is anything wrong with obedience training...I love obedience work!  I focus on changing the emotional state of a dog first.  That way obedience can be something fun you do with your dog, and not as a way to manage them.

We will establish a clear communication system, create consistent boundaries, and reward your dog for all of their good behaviors.  By removing a lot of the conflict from training, and changing your dogs perception of the world, we will create a more emotionally stable and relaxed dog.  You will get more natural & reliable results with this system of training.  

What dogs would benefit from behavior modification?​
* Fearful dogs - We will focus on helping your dog feel safe, by changing how they view the world around them.  Once we make the world a fun, positive place to be, your dog's fears will melt away! 

* Reactive dogs - A lot of reactivity is created by frustration, fear, and insecurity.  Let's help melt away your dog's reactivity by  helping them feel more secure in everyday life.  Let's show the rest of the world the loving companion you know your dog can be!

* Hyperactive/anxious dogs -  Most hyperactive dogs use movement to relieve their anxiety.  The more you use exercise to "tire" your dog out, the more exercise they will need.  Let's teach your dog how to let go of anxiety, and enjoy relaxation.  You will find that your dog is much more focused, and exercise and play will be fun again!

* Let's not forget about puppies! This is perfect for them as well.  What puppy can't benefit from learning relaxation, boundaries, and how to be resilient in life? We will teach your puppy to be a calm, confident, well mannered pup right from the start.  All while having fun!

As you can see, this system really is perfect for any dog. Let's get started on on the path to a better life for you and your dog!
