BEHAVIOR MODIFICATION
Challenges related to fear, anxiety, frustration, helplessness, over-stimulation/arousal, compulsion, and aggression require more than obedience training - they require behavior modification!
We begin the process with an initial 60-90 minute behavior consultation to discuss your pet's history, triggers, lifestyle, and household dynamics. Once we have a better idea of your pet's needs, we will construct a custom program to address your goals!
Rehabilitation and modification includes a combination of:
-
Counter-Conditioning
-
Systematic Desensitization
-
Impulse Control
-
Confidence building exercises
-
Self-Soothing exercises
-
And More!
