  What is the difference between behavior modification/resolution and obedience training? Unlike obedience training, the goal of behavioral training is not to get the dog to comply with a command. Instead, the focus is on rehabilitation or the rewiring of the dog's responses to certain conditions or stimuli.

  
All training services are catered to each family's needs and can vary depending on your situation. We offer Obedience Training, Puppy Obedience Training, as well as in-home consultations to address minor behavior issues++.

OBEDIENCE TRAINING Obedience training may just be the best gift you can give yourself, your family, and your pet. It teaches your dog appropriate social behavior with both people and animals; helps correct annoying behaviors like jumping, digging, barking, and chewing; and keeps your dog entertained and happy.

Obedience Training usually refers to the training of a dog and the term is most commonly used in that context. Basic Obedience Training makes an effort to teach the dog to reliably respond to basic Verbal Commands such as “Sit,” “Down,” “Come,” and “Stay”. It is also a great language to learn that your dog understands.

++BEHAVIOR MODIFICATION Behavior modification, also known as behavior rehabilitation or behavior resolution, is a treatment approach for changing the undesirable behaviors that your dog exhibits. Behavior modification can address a broad range of issues and is designed to meet the specific needs of each dog and household. Behavior modification addresses issues such as:

• Aggression toward people, dogs, and other animals
• Reactive behaviors on walks, such as barking and lunging (commonly known as leash reactivity)
• Fear of noises, people, other animals, and storms
• Separation anxiety and other issues when home alone
• Excessive barking
• Resource guarding and territorial-based behavior
• Excessive attention-seeking
• Compulsive based behaviors
• and even issues with puppies
