BEHAVIOR MODIFICATION PROGRAMS

This is how we modify your Dog's behaviors...

Training Spot uses rewards to regain attention and control of your dog's behavior from the trigger causing the reaction during our behavior modification training. We also combine rewards with specialized verbal and non-verbal communication techniques to calm the dog and reinforce desired behaviors. In some cases such as anxiety, we also communicate to the dog that he or she is safe and cared for and that the trigger will not hurt the dog as long as you are there.

Sometimes you need MORE….

Sometimes sit and stay isn’t enough. For these times, it’s best to contact a behavioral consultant to discuss the best options for you. Sometimes training isn’t enough and it’s the emotions beneath the dog’s behavior that have not been addressed. When this is the case, it’s best to discuss these issues with a knowledgeable behavioral consultant.

Here are some common behavior issues:

Hyperkinesis (Doggie ADD)
Shy and Fearful Behaviors
Growling and Showing Teeth
Mild to Severe Biting
Marking
Anxious Behaviors
