ABOUT US

Understanding & Addressing Your Dog's Behavioral Quirks

Transforming Behavioral Challenges into Harmonious Bonds

Barking

While some barking is natural, excessive or inappropriate barking can become an issue. This could be due to boredom, anxiety, territoriality, or other factors.

Chewing

Dogs, especially puppies, explore the world with their mouths. However, destructive chewing can be problematic. This behavior can be due to teething, boredom, anxiety, or lack of training.

Jumping Up

Many dogs get excited when greeting people and may jump up as a form of enthusiastic hello. While often done in friendliness, it can be undesirable, especially in larger dogs that can knock people over.

Digging

Some dogs, particularly certain breeds, have a strong digging instinct. Dogs might dig out of boredom, to hunt for critters, to find a cool spot during hot weather, or even due to anxiety.

Aggression

This includes growling, snapping, and biting. Aggressive behaviors can arise from fear, dominance, territoriality, pain, or a history of abuse.

Potty Training

This refers to a dog relieving itself indoors rather than outside or in a designated area. This can be due to a lack of house training, medical issues, anxiety, or marking behaviors.

A Deeper Bond

Beyond basic commands, our training enhances the understanding and connection between you and your pet. Experience a deeper bond built on trust and mutual respect

I feel uniquely qualified to help others break the cycle of frustration and disappointment with their dogs, because I've been there myself. When things got tough with my dog Bumble Bee, I didn't give up - I sought out help and found the guidance I needed. But it wasn't easy, and it took a lot of self-reflection and introspection to determine the kind of trainer I wanted to learn from and ultimately to become. That's why made  the decision NOT to use aversive training tactics, and use positive, reward-based approach to training.
