As much as you love your dog, there are a number of behaviors or bad habits that she might have developed over the years. Whether these are habits that you have watched form or whether you have adopted a puppy or adult dog that already had these behaviors, there are ways to correct them. No dog is going to be perfect all the time, but if you are seeing a dog who is having a real issue with something like housetraining, pulling while on the leash, anxiety, or even aggression, we can help you and your dog!
A dog does not want to be scared, anxious, or on red alert all the time. Many of the biggest problems in your dog’s behavior are probably due to anxiety or simply due to not having strong, well-defined boundaries. A training regimen that is dedicated specifically to helping her conquer these issues will not only provide her with more confidence, it will make your dog a much happier and well-adjusted member citizen of the world.
Some of the most common problematic behaviors include:
- Pulling on the leash
- Anxiety
- Chewing
- Biting or nipping as a part of play
- Fear of fireworks or thunderstorms
- Barking at everything/nothing
- Jumping on people
- Digging
- Car sickness
- Food stealing
- Not coming when called
- Aggression
While some of these might be more serious issues than others, a small problem can quickly balloon into a larger, more difficult behavior, especially if the root cause of that behavior is anxiety. We will teach you how to appropriate correct these behaviors and reward good behaviors, so you no longer have to think of your dog as a problem dog. No matter what the issue is, we have the solution!
