What is Behavior Modification Training?
Behavior Modification is a systematic approach that works to change the dog’s emotional state toward a specific situation over time.
Behavior Modification, unlike “obedience” training, goes beyond training the dog to perform specific actions (like “sit”) when requested; these specific actions can be tools in a Behavior Modification Program, but our focus as a team will be on changing how your dog feels and reacts.
A Behavior Modification Program is a great option for dogs who struggle with frustration, fear, or aggression. Some examples of situations where behavior modification is recommended are Leash Reactivity, Resources Guarding, Separation Anxiety, and Noise Phobias. Dogs in need of behavior modification training have the most success in private lessons where the owners can be present.
Please note: Behavior Modification Training comes with an open ended time frame.
