Behavior includes more than just reactivity or anxiety. Jumping up, barking, begging, counter surfing and biting are all behaviors that can be difficult to deal with. But there are solutions. 🙂
Compassion and Consistency
The most important path to success in behavior change is:
- Compassion
- Patience
- Consistency
- Persistence
By incorporating these elements, you can ensure that your dog / puppy is being taken care of and feels safe to move in the direction to happiness with you and your family.
Planning Is Key
By spending time with your dog / puppy on training skills, you will improve your chances of success.
- Prioritizing
- Planning
- Proofing
Failing to Plan is planning to fail.
Dog / Puppy Behavior and Skills Training
Lets find out why your dog is barking and how we can help him / her to communicate with you and the world.
The last thing we want is for our pups who are just so excited, is for them to be knocking us or our guests down.
We will plan activities that will incorporate calm and relaxation into your puppy / dog's daily activities.
The right things at the right time is what we want our pups to learn the best things to grind their teeth on.
Basic skills are great for developing a relationship with you and your pup. By spending even 10 minutes a day, great things can be done.
There is a right way.... for your dog / puppy to learn how to be alone. But it is specific to your dog and not all methods are created equal.
Testimonials
My pup had difficulty with barking at other dogs on the street when we were walking. Shannon has given us some tools to help him to enjoy his walk without the anxiety of worrying about the other dogs on the street.

Rylee was not able to be alone from when she was a puppy. Shannon created a plan that allowed her to feel ok on her own and is now able to be by herself for over 4 hours. What a gift. I can now leave the house and not worry about her being anxious.
