HORROR STORY?
the adolescent dog
As puppies mature into adolescents, they have more energy as well as more confidence and curiosity about the world "out there". This can also be when breed specific tendencies emerge or just get stronger. Hounds can no longer hear you when they are following a scent; herding breeds are chasing, nipping and circling, guardian types are barking at everything.
I'll help you layer on the reinforcement for responding to you, rather than the environment. We'll find ways to transition from food reinforcers to fun and games designed with your dog's desires in mind.
A prerequisite to this package is completion of the Fairy Tales and/or the Tall Tales Early Learning, unless comparable skills are determined at the Initial Consult.
All packages on this page start with an initial consult so I can begin to tailor your personalized training. To sign up for that initial consult, please click here.
A MYSTERY
behavior modification
Some dog behavior can be frustrating and it's essential to reach out for help. Fear, aggression, and separation anxiety will overwhelm any dog (and their owner), even an otherwise well-behaved one. It may show up in public, or in the vet's office, or at times you don't understand.
Dogs can also be challenged by new situations such as a move or a new family member (any specie!).
Behavior modification plans can be simple or complex, depending on the issue. Sign up for an Initial Consult/Evaluation so that I can learn more and get you started.
