Behavior modification is not “training. ” Training teaches the learner a certain skill or behavior while in behavior modification we work to change the dog’s emotional state so they can make better choices. People, animal, or object directed reactivity or aggression can be a scary thing to the pet guardian who has to take their pet out on a walk. Things like barking, lunging, pulling on leash, or baring teeth can be embarrassing or frightening if you are afraid you may lose control of your animal. Oftentimes the root of these reactive behaviors in your dog is fear. And punishing out the barking and growling only leaves you with an animal that, when it feels threatened, will no longer warn you before biting.
Reducing reactivity involves desensitizing your dog to the triggers that make him scared to go out in public. We work to build his confidence, make the scary things less scary, and help the pet guardian to understand the management needed to help their dog live more comfortably in their daily environment.
