Canine Behavior Modification
What is behavior modification?
Behavior modification is a humane approach for changing the undesirable behaviors that your dog exhibits. Behavior modification uses counter conditioning and desensitization approaches, a variety of training skills as well as implementing management and safety protocols. Behavior modification can address a broad range of issues. After our evaluation/assessment session, we will learn your dog’s issues and why they might do the things that they do, plans and protocols are created to help manage and modify the behavior(s) of concern. Behavior Modification programs are designed to meet the specific needs of each dog and household. Services typically take place in your home, however services can also be provided at other locations mutually agreed upon. (Online Virtual Behavior Sessions are also available).
How It works:
Step 1: Initial Consultation
90 Minutes – Everyone starts here. During the consultation we will learn about your dog’s behavior, cover your goals in detail, create a temporary plan until Jen comes to your home to conduct an evaluation/Assessment and creates a customized Management plan.
