BEYOND SURFACE LEVEL

BEHAVIOR
MODIFICATION

For dogs struggling with reactivity, aggression, anxiety, or impulse control. We address the root cause, not just the symptoms.

Important: Behavior modification is intensive and requires commitment. We carefully screen cases to ensure we can help.

These aren't training problems—they're behavioral issues that require specialized

intervention.

REACTIVITY

Lunging, barking, or aggressive displays toward dogs, people, or vehicles.

CHALLENGING BEHAVIORS

WHAT WE ADDRESS

AGGRESSION

Resource guarding, territorial behavior, or fear-based aggression.

ANXIETY

Separation anxiety, noise phobias, or generalized fearfulness.

IMPULSE CONTROL

Hyperactivity, inability to settle, or obsessive behaviors.

OUR APPROACH

Behavior modification isn't about suppressing symptoms—it's about changing your dog's emotional response to triggers through systematic exposure and clear communication.

COMPREHENSIVE ASSESSMENT

We evaluate triggers, thresholds, history, and environmental factors to understand the complete picture.

90 MIN INITIAL SESSION

CUSTOM PROTOCOL DESIGN

Based on assessment, we create a structured modification plan with clear milestones.

DETAILED WRITTEN PLAN

STRUCTURED EXPOSURE

Carefully controlled exposure work to change your dog's emotional response to triggers.

PROGRESSIVE SESSIONS

STRUCTURED INTERVENTION

OWNER EDUCATION

You'll learn to read your dog's body language, manage situations, and maintain progress.
