Behavior Consulting

Behavior modification is different from dog training. Behavior modification requires an expert understanding of animal behavior. Dog training, and dog trainers, concentrate on teaching skills through repetition. Thus, dog training is perfect for teaching Sit, Down, Heel, Come when called, as well as for skills such as agility, retrieving on command, and such. A behavior specialist concentrates on figuring out WHY a dog is doing an unwanted behavior, and to develop a solution that meshes with a dog’s natural instincts. You don’t want to go to a pet store dog trainer to solve behavior problems. They don’t have the knowledge or background to do it properly.
