INTERACTIVE BEHAVIOR MODIFICATION
Dogs behave in many different ways. Environment plays a huge role in it and the relationship we have with them. Our program evaluates the dog along with her environment and her pack (family members). In order to obtain more information from the dog and her behavior, there is an initial assessment before she is introduced to other environments and other “packs” (humans and dogs). After the assessment, the length of her stay will be estimated. On average, a stay of minimum two week is suggested in order to fully evaluate the behavior and to establish the foundation of a new behavior as well as to be able to build trust, respect and loyalty, which are the key stones to a fulfilled relationship with your dog. During the program, the owner is involved in the process via one on one, virtual, videos and persona sessions to make the transition as smooth as possible once the dog goes back home.
This program does not focus on obedience although it is used as a tool and an activity to help shape a behavior.
During the program and regardless of the behavior addressed, all dogs will:
- Stay in a heated/air conditioned house.
- Be given play times at dog parks to drain energy and socialize as part of the training.
- Receive food every day (provided by owner).
- Be introduced to basic commands (sit, stay, down, come), to walk properly on leash and potty training.
- Be introduced to socialize with people and dogs of all sizes.
- Be trained to follow set times for play, down time, feeding, potty and sleep.
What you need to bring:
- Food or any other eatable in a reusable container like Tupperware (no plastic/zip lock bags please)
- For first timers, their bed or a blanket they are familiar with
- No toys needed. There are plenty available at their stay
Requirements:
- For aggressive behavior modification, field visits will be limited until progress is shown and observing all safety precautions.
- A video of the behavior(s) to be addressed. This will give a perspective of “before and after”)
- Space is limited to a max of 2 trainees at a time (dependent on size).
- Reservations are taken at least one week prior to the stay.
- Dogs will be required to be spayed/neutered (unless less than 6 months of age).
- All dogs must be spayed/neutered and show proof of current vaccinations prior to drop off.
At the end of the training, you and your dog will:
- Be more connected and your dog will be more receptive to direction
- Learn to be in a calmer state and calmer way of being.
- Manage better communication skills
- Be introduce to basic commands and a different way to communicate those commands
