What is Behavior Modification?
Examples of behavior issues that require behavior modification training are:
- reactivity to strangers or dogs on walks
- excessive barking at the door
- behaviors driven by big emotions (fear & anxiety)
We can help provide relief for you and your dog in a friendly and humane manner. This works by changing undesirable behaviors through counterconditioning and desensitization. For best results, a variety of training skills and implementation of management and safety protocols are part of the plan. Read more about what we train for…
