Mind and Manners
(Behavior Modification and Obedience Training)
Effective and long lasting dog training requires understanding of how your dog's Mind works first, then train the proper Manners.
Chances are you’re struggling with your dog’s behavior and what you’ve tried so far isn't working.
Things probably aren’t working because the solution isn’t as straightforward as you think (or have been told!)
The truth is this…there needs to be an understanding of your dog's unique psyche and ensure they are in the right frame of mind. Some dogs are naturally. A lot are not. If they aren't, its important to utilize specific behavior modification techniques first. Once they have the proper state of mind, then its appropriate to train each the obedience (Manners) skills.
Understand their Mind.
(Behavior Modification)
Understanding the Mind involves developing an understanding of your dog’s psyche — why they behave a certain way, what triggers their behaviors, and how they perceive their environment. This deep understanding allows us to address issues at their root rather than merely managing symptoms. It's about changing how they feel in order to create a stable and secure mindset from which all good behavior can flow.
We specialize in behavior modification. Our team is lead by Behavior Modification Specialists that have over 50 years combined experience in Behavior Modification. These techniques are completely different from Obedience techniques.
