Behavior Modification Training
Are you feeling lost trying to live with your dog gone wild?
We first implement a Professional Assessment to help you find the missing pieces to resolve the root causes of challenging behavior that will bring out your dog’s value and your quality of life.
The Assessment is a legal document used in animal control, law enforcement cases, court issued abatements, & veterinarian references.
The one-time assessment also provides a detailed action plan. It takes approximately 90 minutes. Cost is $225.
