Dog behavior problems can be very frustrating and embarrassing. Even if your dog seems "bad" on the outside, you and I both know that he's very "good" on the inside. You needn't worry that I will raise a disconcerting eyebrow at his behavior and you don't have to apologize for any self-perceived deficits you think that you have as a dog owner. Believe me, I am a fellow human; been there, done that. I truly appreciate that you are choosing to make a change and are researching the best training options for you and your dog. I love dog people as much as I love dogs!
I use modern applied behavioral science when training dogs and their people and adhere to the Humane Hierarchy set forth by the Certification Council for Professional Dog Trainers. I artfully apply any or all of the following: primary reinforcer training, functional reward training, luring, clicker training, marker-training, desensitization, counter-conditioning, classical conditioning, and Premack Principle.
Together we can decide if it is best that I board and train your dog, come to your home for a series of sessions, or provide advice from afar through emails and phone calls.
I can help you to:
1) Define and focus on what you want from your dog
2) Identify what is rewarding for your dog at any given time so that he can get "paid" for desired behavior
3) Determine triggers that set off reactive behavior
4) Recognize your dog's body language to stop reactions before they start
5) Develop programs that involve desensitization and counter-conditioning
6) Keep your sessions stress-free with honest and clear communication between you and your dog
RATES
Your aggressive or fearful dog CAN be helped. The majority of my continuing education units are obtained through seminars and workshops focusing on identifying fearful/aggressive behavior and the many options on how to change emotional patterns.
My history of earning titles and placement ribbons in obedience, rally obedience, and hunting retriever competitions with several dogs (including those not owned by me) is testament to my ability to train to a level where a dog will perform willingly and reliably in distracting environments.
Public figures: I adhere to a strict confidentiality policy, will sign any necessary privacy contracts, and arrive at your home in an unmarked vehicle.
