Behaviour Modification

Bad behaviour in pets often stems from fear. Aggressive habits such as barking, or worse, biting, resource guarding and lunging/pulling on the leash, is a response to perceived threats. Your pet’s reaction is activated by specific triggers that it deems as harmful. Behaviour modification seeks to modify this over-reactive reflex. Naturally, a scared dog cannot be trained effectively with methods that encourage even more timidness. 

For behaviour modification training to be successful, it takes commitment. With steady persistence, your pet will gradually learn how it should behave in all situations.
