Solving Behavioral Problems
and Aggression
Treating behavioral problems in dogs focuses on identifying and addressing unwanted behaviors such as excessive barking, aggression, anxiety, or destructiveness.
Through a professional assessment, we can understand the causes of the behavior and build a personally tailored treatment plan – using learning techniques based on positive reinforcement and proper communication between the dog and its owner.
Frequently Asked Questions
Assessment Meetings
Before any training process, we come to you for an assessment meeting so we can pinpoint the causes of the problems and tailor a plan that is precise for you.
Who is it for?
How do I know if my dog has a behavioral problem?
1. Barking with no clear reason, or an extreme reaction to triggers such as guests, outside noises, or being left alone.
2. Behavior involving growling, baring teeth, biting, or attempts to attack other dogs, people, or animals.
3. Chewing furniture, shoes, or personal items, or an obsessive fixation on doors, walls, and windows.
4. Crying, howling, restlessness, or destructive behavior whenever the dog is left home alone.
5. Lunging forward on walks, an inability to walk calmly, or attempts to escape and chase after triggers.
6. The dog completely ignores the owner’s calls or commands, even in a calm home environment.
7. Extreme reactions such as fleeing, trembling, or huddling in a corner in response to triggers like loud noise, strangers, or new places.
8. Compulsive self-licking or self-biting, tail chasing, or excessive fixation on a particular object.
