Dog Behavior Modification in Boston

Targeted training that identifies and corrects problem behaviors so your dog can enjoy more of life with you.

Overview

Behavior modification is different from basic obedience. Obedience teaches skills, while behavior modification identifies and corrects problem behaviors through targeted training, so your dog can safely enjoy walks, playgroups, hikes and Yappy Hours.

Excessive barking, jumping, high value resource guarding, food aggression, defensive behaviors, skittish anxiety and other challenges do not have to be part of every day. When a behavior is hurting your dog's quality of life or your family's sanity, we work with you both to unlearn it and reinforce better conduct.

  • Barking and jumpingCalmer greetings and quieter homes.
  • Resource guardingIncluding high value items and food.
  • Anxiety and defensivenessBuilding confidence step by step.
  • 365 day availabilityFlexible scheduling through the portal.

Is it right for your dog?Choose behavior modification when a specific habit is the problem, rather than a lack of basic commands.
