This is also for dogs who may be facing challenges with the following: anxiety, severe social attachments, phobias, fears, reactivity on and off leash (barking, whining, lunging, jumping, attacks) showing warning signs or exhibiting clear aggression, resource guarding and territorial behavior. We offer Baby Prep training to help better prepare your dog’s for your new arrival.  

We employ a variety of counter-conditioning strategies to retrain your dog and teach you how to alter their behavior and inspire loyalty and indifference. We encourage motivation before forcing them unnecessarily – always. Our program is a lot different than most and we know what sets us apart. We train on the desired training gear you want – it’s up to you and us as a team whether it’s appropriate for your dog to be managed with or without certain harnesses, collars, and e-collars. We will never pressure you into making
decisions that would be unethical.

Scientifically, it takes 18 TO 21 days to proof any command to a dog so any program that guarantees this in less time is false advertising. Dogs must go through the 4 different learning stages: Acquisition, Fluency, Generalization and lastly Management before you do not have to rely on rewards like toys and food to motivate them to listen to you.  It takes a minimum of 10 weeks to see a behavioral change occur within your dog and if your dog is experiencing allergy or food sensitivities that can also have an impact on training timelines. Dogs that have clinical anxiety, reactivity aggression, phobias, severe attachment bonds or fear of containment can take many months before they become manageable.
