Dogs and puppies that struggle with fearful, reactive, or aggressive behaviors need more than basic training. They need a program designed for their individual needs.
With over 20 years experience working with special needs dogs and their humans, I can help you with a wide range of behavior challenges, including:
-
Aggression
-
Fear
-
Generalized anxiety
-
Hyperarousal/overstimulation
-
Reactivity
-
Resource guarding
From difficult to dangerous, all behavior problems are caused by high levels of stress. An effective program minimizes stress, increases the dog's tolerance for stressful situations, and teaches practical skills the dog can do, instead of the problem behavior.

Puppy Socialization and Training
Puppies are adorable and fun, but puppy raising is serious business! Without careful early training and socialization, fear, reactivity, and aggression can start to appear between 5-12 months of age.
I can help you prepare your new puppy for life in our busy human world and troubleshoot early problems. We can start from their first week home. Or schedule your first lesson before they arrive!
