If your dog is struggling with challenging behaviors like aggression, anxiety, or reactivity, our Behavior Modification program can help. We use science-based methods to address the root causes of problem behaviors and create lasting positive change.

Help your dog feel secure when left alone and reduce destructive behaviors

Rock-solid response to commands even with significant distractions
Appropriate behavior in stores, restaurants, and other public settings
Evaluation of your dog's suitability for service work
Guidance on legal rights, responsibilities, and handling techniques
This program requires a significant commitment of time and practice. We'll work closely with you to determine if your dog is a good candidate for service work and provide honest feedback throughout the training process.
Common questions about our dog training services
We recommend starting with a free consultation where we can assess your dog's needs, discuss your goals, and recommend the most appropriate program. Every dog is unique, and we'll help you choose the option that best addresses your specific situation.
Many clients see initial improvements within the first few sessions, but lasting behavior change typically takes 4-8 weeks of consistent practice. The timeline depends on the specific behavior, your dog's temperament, and your commitment to practicing between sessions. Complex behavioral issues may require longer-term training.
Yes, we use positive reinforcement methods that include treats, praise, play, and other rewards. Treats are especially helpful in the early stages of training to establish behaviors. As training progresses, we gradually reduce the frequency of treats while maintaining the desired behaviors.
No! The saying "you can't teach an old dog new tricks" is a myth. Dogs of any age can learn new behaviors and modify existing ones. While puppies may learn some things more quickly, adult and senior dogs often have longer attention spans and can make excellent students.
We primarily use flat collars, harnesses, and 6-foot leashes for most training. We do not use or recommend shock collars, prong collars, or other aversive tools. We'll help you select the most appropriate equipment for your specific dog and training goals.
While we can't guarantee specific results since they depend on many factors including owner follow-through, we do guarantee our commitment to you and your dog. If you're not seeing progress, we'll adjust our approach or recommend alternative solutions to help you reach your goals.
