Behavior Modification

Sometimes our dogs engage in behaviors that can range from simply driving us nuts to being dangerous to themselves, other dogs, and their families. Have no fear—we can improve their behavior with these effective courses.

Canine Behavior Evaluation

Age Range: All

Duration: 1.5 hour

Requirements: None

Our Canine Behavior Counselor will pinpoint the causes of your dog’s behavioral challenges and determine how to address them effectively. At the end of the evaluation, we outline a program customized for you and your dog’s needs and provide an estimate of the time and cost involved so you can decide if you would like to go further.

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!
