What’s Covered in Our Behavior Modification Program:


  • Duration: Starting at 30 days, but can extend based on the severity of the issues. We believe in taking the time needed to achieve the best results.


  • General Obedience: Your dog will learn the same foundational commands (sit, down, heel, recall, and place) taught in our other programs, reinforcing positive behaviors.


  • Behavioral Focus: We don’t just teach commands—we focus on modifying the way your dog perceives specific triggers and situations. This helps build a calm, confident mindset and gives your dog the tools to make better decisions.


  • Changing Emotional Responses: Our program addresses the root causes of behavioral issues by working on your dog’s emotions and responses. Through systematic exposure and positive associations, we help transform fear and anxiety into relaxation and confidence.


  • Socialization and Real-World Readiness: Just like with our other programs, we focus on socialization and helping your dog remain calm and neutral in various public settings. This ensures your dog thrives in real-world scenarios, from park outings to trips to the coffee shop, while staying calm and relaxed.


Why Choose Our Behavior Modification Program?

  • Long-Term Results: Our approach goes beyond simple corrections. We focus on sustainable change, teaching your dog to stay calm and controlled in a variety of environments.



  • Holistic Approach: We address not just the outward behaviors, but the emotional triggers behind them. By helping your dog change how they react to stress, fear, or anxiety, we foster a calmer and more balanced canine companion.


  • Strengthen Your Bond: Our method nurtures the bond between you and your dog, empowering both of you to understand each other better. The result is a relationship built on trust, respect, and shared success.
