How It Works:

The Fetch Worthy Family Dog Foundations or Behavior Modification Program comes to you for the most effective training experience.

  1. An initial consultation covers your dog’s history, your family’s dog training goals, nuisance behavior, and your interactions through interviews, questionnaires, and observation. The consultation assesses your dog’s temperament, environment, and daily routine to develop a personalized, holistic, evidence-based training plan with targeted exercises, techniques, and recommended next steps to improve your dog’s behavior.
  2. A functional analysis involves systematically observing your dog’s behavior in a controlled environment to understand the purpose behind their actions. This helps create an effective training plan by identifying the “why” behind specific problematic behaviors. We use the ABC model to dissect these behaviors, focusing on the Antecedents (triggers), Behavior (the action itself), and Consequences (reinforcements). This method follows principles from applied behavior analysis (ABA) to pinpoint the exact function of the problem behavior.
  3. At-home sessions meet weekly.
  4. Digital sessions meet up to 4 times, designed to update the trainer and plan.

Note:We no longer accept cases involving dog bites, aggression in multi-dog homes, aggression towards children, separation anxiety, or severe dog-dog fear reactivity with injury.

*We accept multiple forms of payment with pay-later features like Affirm, Afterpay, & Apple Pay; 3% credit cards, 6% payment plans.
