Behavior Modification

There are no bad dogs!

Change unwanted behaviors by teaching something new.

It's not about power, control, and dominance.  It's about communication, patience, and learning.


Sometimes our dogs can engage in behaviors that can range from driving us nuts to being dangerous to themselves, other dogs, and their families. Have no fear! We can help you and your dog work through their challenges to improve their behavior through our science-based positive reinforcement Behavior Modification Program and courses.


We can help you fix the following behavioral problems as long as they’re not caused by a physical condition:


  • Aggression/reactivity toward humans
  • Aggression/reactivity toward other animals
  • Inter-pack fighting
  • Barking
  • Separation anxiety
  • Chewing
  • House training
  • Thunderstorm and loud noise desensitization
  • Preparing for a new baby
  • And much more!

Our Canine Behavior Counselor will pinpoint the causes of your dog’s behavioral challenges and determine how to address them effectively. After your evaluation, we will outline a program customized for you and your dog’s needs and provide a rough estimate of the time and cost involved so you can decide if you would like to go further. Please note that no provided estimate can be guaranteed because we are working with living, thinking, creatures.
