The first thing I start with is communication so that your dog is 100% clear about what we want and do not want. Only then will I begin to design the canine behavior modification or treatment plan, which has four components.

All dog training, including dog behavior modification, is done by offering rewards in the form of treats and praise. Negative or physical punishment is never used to train your dog.


The first thing I start with is communication so that your dog is 100% clear about what we want and do not want. Only then will I begin to design the canine behavior modification or treatment plan, which has four components:

  • The first component is showing the dog an acceptable alternative behavior that we want instead of the negative unacceptable behavior we want to eliminate. I will see your dog, work this out, and present the behavior so that your dog readily accepts it without a struggle.


  • The second component is the point where I will coach you through managing your dog and helping them to succeed. I will see you and your dog in your home at different times, and I will be able to determine your dog's triggers and how to minimize them. I will also see and understand what motivates your dog.


  • The third component is the addition and use of an effective yet mild consequence. Once again, this will be tailored to your dog within your home based on what works as we proceed through our solutions.


  • The fourth component is consistency with your family and your dog in your home so that your dog can pattern the new behaviors and let go of the old unwanted actions of the past. I am here to help you along as your dog tests the boundaries we continue to reinforce as we arrive at our solutions.

Along with modifying most behaviors, you will also benefit because your dog will:


  • Have a job
  • Learn basic commands and the appropriate response
  • Learn to listen and understand what you want
  • Earn things he likes on a reward-based system
  • Have you as a strong commander
