Things You Should Know about Reactive Dog Behavior
-
Don't dismiss aggressive and fearful responses as just a temporary stage – behavior will not improve without intervention. It's common to see behavior changes around the age of 2.
-
The truth is, aggression can't be fully cured; but there are several ways to effectively lessen outbursts. Through behavior modification training, both you and your dog will learn valuable skills to handle triggers and shorten the time it takes to recover.
-
During the Intro to Behavior Modification Session we will prioritize your goals and agree upon an appropriate training plan.
-
Dominance theory was proven to be incorrect and misapplied to dogs. More importantly, using punishment to stifle fearful or aggressive responses is ineffective.
-
No, your participation in behavior modification training is crucial for your dog to feel safe around triggers. Since they spend most of their time with you, your role is essential in their learning process.
-
The progress rate is influenced by each dog’s learning history and the commitment of their guardian.
