During our Private Behavioral Training sessions, we teach you how to stop unwanted behaviors while fostering a calm state of mind.

We focus on helping you teach your dog how to correct behaviors such as leash reactivity, counter surfing, barking in and out of the house, resource guarding, jumping on guests, pulling on the leash, separation anxiety, fearfulness, nervousness, aggression etc.

Dog pulling on leash

OUr Approach:

We lean towards a balanced training approach that combines positive reinforcement with appropriate correction methods.

It may be necessary to have a 30-minute phone consult to discuss a plan on how we can best individualize the instruction sessions for your dog and help you with the situation. 

The solution should not be very time-consuming; normally 1 to 3 one-hour sessions will stop most behavior problems. From there you can move on to training the things you want your dog to learn.
