BEHAVIOR MODIFICATION
Turning Stress into Success!
*While we specialize in In-Home Private Training in the Portland Metro Area, we also offer Virtual/Remote training on a case-by-case basis at the same rates.
*If your dog is reactive towards, or fearful of new people, or has a bite history of any degree your initial 90m consultation will be held virtually over zoom. This is non-negotiable and a company policy put in place to enhance the quality of the services we provide for dogs with stranger directly reactivity, fear or aggression.
Is your dog exhibiting fearful, reactive, or aggressive behaviors? Perhaps you could describe your pup as “a little too spicy”?
Perhaps you’ve done a ton of research, or have already worked with a trainer and still can’t seem to bring your peppery pupper’s spice level down. Their zest for life routinely makes your eyes water, and it breaks your heart to see their world getting smaller.
Your peppery pupper may not be a “cool cucumber”, but we can certainly transform them from a habanero pupper to something WAY less spicy!
We will preserve their personality without cutting out all the flavor!

De-stress
Prevention and Welfare
We will begin by developing a plan to de-stress your dog’s world using simple and proven management strategies that give you and your dog instant relief. We will help you understand how to meet your dog’s core needs through species-specific enrichment games designed to lower their heart rate and decrease stress hormones. It will seem simple but it’s actually scientific!
This step helps your dog decompress so their brain is more receptive to “cortical remapping”, aka learning new things!
Rewire and Inspire
Rewire negative associations
One of the top reasons dogs behave fearfully or aggressively is because they have formed some kind of negative association with a particular stimulus or event. They have drawn a direct connection that triggers frustration, anger, fear, or protection instincts. This stage of the program will help them form new associations by pairing their trigger with something they love.
This is called counterconditioning and desensitization.
Remodel
Remodel Old Habits
Reactive or fearful dogs tend to have a well-practiced freeze, flight, or fight response when triggered. These habits have proven effective for them in getting out of situations they don’t like. We will show them alternative and calming behaviors are also effective in resolving their conflict.
We will foster a toolbox of new skills that will act as healthier habits they can lean on.
Restore and Enjoy
Restore your relationship
Imagine this! You have put the work in and you’re no longer scared or embarrassed of your dog’s behavior. You now speak the same language and your stress has shifted to success! Your dog is even getting compliments on the streets from strangers and your relationship has been restored.
Training is a journey not a destination, but when you love the journey it doesn’t matter where you end up as long as you’re together!

Please familiarize yourself with our CANCELLATION POLICY before making a purchase.
Please note that the size of the package does not determine the rate of progress for your dog. Seeing substantial progress with behavior modification can take anywhere from 6 months to a year depending on many factors. Ultimately, this type of training is a life long journey and a practice that you should expect to adopt as a way of life. A larger package doesn’t necessarily mean you will achieve your goals quicker. It simply means a longer duration of guidance from your very skilled and certified trainer, which does translate into more knowledge, mastery and success implementing the training over time long after your package has been completed.

Before you dive in
The importance of a check-up at the vet
Most behavior problems are fueled by undiagnosed health problems. If your dog is sick, in pain, or suffering from clinical anxiety, their brain will be shut down and they won’t be in the best state for learning. The first step is to get a check-up at the vet. The training we do won’t take hold if we don’t treat underlying health issues first.
*Some severe behavior issues will require a referral to a veterinary behaviorist.
We will contact you with next steps!
