Pinpointing the Problem

The first step in controlling unwanted behavior is making sure it’s not being caused by an underlying medical issue. Many health conditions have symptoms that can easily be mistaken for bad behavior. For instance, soiling in the house may not actually be a dog training problem. Rather, it could be caused by an illness. In these cases, treating the condition will typically eliminate the undesirable behavior as well.

Once we’ve given your pet a clean bill of health, the next step is figuring out precisely what type of issue we’re dealing with. Sometimes a larger problem can manifest itself through a number of smaller nuisance behaviors. For example, a dog that becomes destructive or barks incessantly when left alone may actually have separation anxiety. The only way to deal with the smaller issues is to address the main concern.

Some of the behavior problems we can assist with include:

  • House Soiling
  • Biting
  • Aggression
  • Destructive Behavior
  • Jumping
  • Excessive Barking
  • Fear/Anxiety

Once we’ve identified the problem, we’ll work with you to come up with the best solution. There are a number of ways you can address a behavior issue. Whether it’s through positive reinforcement, rewards or something else, we’ll arm you with the tools and education you need to get real, long-term results.
