Our Behavior Modification Program is a rehabilitation program for dogs with severe behavioral issues such as: dog or people aggression, anxiety of any kind, severe dog reactivity, and resource guarding of any kind.

• This program is for dogs with severe behavioral issues that are impacting the way the dog and owner live. This program is not for dogs with common bad habits.

  • For example: This program is not for dogs who steal food off of the counter, bolt out of the front door, jump the fence in the backyard, ect.

• We will list some examples of severe behavioral issues below:

  • A dog that has a bite record: on a human, child, or dog

  • Severe aggression towards a human, child, or dog.

  • The dog completely shutdowns in public settings: shakes, will not move, will try to flee, acts as if it is having a panic attack.

  • Dog or people reactivity

  • Resource guarding of any food, treat, toy, person, house, household object, dog’s space, a human’s space, ect.

  • Severe separation anxiety that puts the dog’s safety at risk due to the dog’s behaviors.

• These are just SOME examples, these are not the only examples for severe behavioral issues.

• If you feel your dog may need our behavioral modification program, please give us a call so we can talk with you about your dog and the issues you are having.

In order for us to help, we recommend that you and your dog meet with one of our trainers so that the trainer can evaluate the following:

• Identify what the specific behavioral concern is

• Understand when the behavior is triggered, what happens during a triggered episode, and what happens after an episode.

• Learn more about your dog’s daily life, environment, and relationship with their handler and family.

After understanding these important facts, the trainer will be able to direct you to the best training option.

Our program is a rehabilitation program, and we call it a rehabilitation program because, just like with any rehab program, it takes hard work and dedication to maintain success.

Successful behavioral rehabilitation is dependent upon several factors that determine when/if the issues become manageable. These factors include but are not limited to:

• How long the behavior has existed.

• The type of behavioral concern it is.

• The severity of the behavior.

• The consistency in which the owner applies the training protocols.

• Genetic predispositions

• Medical issues

We do not provide a guarantee that your dog’s behavioral issue will become non-existent. But we can say that with our guidance and the owner’s commitment to the program, your dog’s behavioral issue will be able to be managed in a way that improves your relationship and daily life with your dog.
