Obedience Training:
Obedience training as it applies to Canine Behavior Consulting, Inc. consists of very basic training, such as teaching dogs to reliably respond to basic commands such as ‘come’, ‘sit’, ‘down’, ‘stand’, ‘stay’, ‘leave it’, ‘drop it’, and ‘off’. Obedience training is often a prerequisite for, or component of, other training such as manners training. With most methods dogs are trained one command at a time. Though there may or may not be a specific word attached to it, walking properly on a leash, or leash control, is often the first training required prior to learning other commands.
Behavior Modification Therapy:
Behavior modification simply means changing or modifying behavior. Most commonly, the term behavior modification is used when talking about addressing complex or serious behavior problems such as:
- Unruliness, including mounting, tugging at clothes, and biting
- Separation anxiety
- Aggression
- Fearfulness
- Noise/sound phobias
- Destructiveness
- Male marking in the house
Barking:
- Territorial
- Alarm
- Attention-seeking
- Fear-induced
- Excitement
- Frustration
Dogs want to please and need jobs to do.
