This is the direct changing of unwanted behavior by means of biofeedback or conditioning.

Our modern day relationship with the dog has changed drastically from ancient times.  Where once the two species understood each other instinctively, today we are now seeing a breakdown in understanding, communication, and respect.  This is why we now see problem behaviours ranging from destructive chewing to phobias/obsessions to aggression.  We have integrated the dog into our society to the point where we regard them as furry children and have forgotten that they are still 100% animal, most closely related to the wolf.

Behaviour modification & rehabilitation goes beyond teaching your dog how to respond to traditional verbal commands.  I will take a holistic look at how you are living with your dog and help you re-connect at the most basic and fundamental stage.  I will look at your “pack” and explain who is in control and why.  I will help you to understand how to take back the leadership position and how to adjust your lifestyle so that you can have a rewarding and long relationship with your dog.

Obedience training does go hand in hand with behaviour modification and rehabilitation cases, although we may focus more on behaviour shaping, involvement work, and shifting the balance of power back into your hands, formal training also has its place.   Every person, every dog, and every situation is unique therefore, no two cases are are ever the same.  As long as the owner keeps an open mind we will find the easiest and most effective way to rehabilitate your dog
