Behaviour Modification

Behaviour Modification programs can be used for an array of behaviours. Barking, resource guarding, fear or lack of socialization, separation anxiety, chewing or nipping, unruly play, pulling on the lead, or lack of recall are all examples of common behaviours that can make pet parents feel frustrated, overwhelmed, and disconnected from their pets.

Unlike conventional training approaches that can rely on fear, intimidation, and aversive techniques, Tail Tips firmly believes in the proven effectiveness of science-based positive reinforcement training.

We also understand the challenges of training a fearful or under-socialized dog and the importance of creating a bond based on communication, empathy and trust. With additional experience in working with stray and shelter dogs, we can help you effectively teach and socialize your furry companion.

An initial consultation is recommended in order for an assessment to be done for your dog. Tail Tips is currently only accepting mild to moderate cases of separation anxiety, dog/dog aggression, and resource guarding.

Here’s how our Behavioral Training Program can help:

Identify the Root Causes of Behavioral Issues: We’ll dive deep into the underlying reasons behind your dog’s unwanted behaviors, whether it’s fear, anxiety, or a lack of proper training and socialization.

Develop a Customized Training Plan: Based on initial findings, we’ll create a personalized training plan using proven positive reinforcement techniques to address your dog’s unique challenges.

Curb Unwanted Behaviors: Whether it’s excessive barking, destructive chewing, or jumping up on guests, our trainer will work with you and your pup to replace problem behaviors with positive, wanted ones.

Reduce Anxiety and Fear: Is your dog terrified of thunderstorms or strangers? Our desensitization and counter-conditioning techniques can help them feel calm and confident.

Prevent Future Problems: By addressing behavioral issues early on, we can help ensure your pup grows into a well-adjusted, confident companion.

The key to our success? We believe in empowering you, the dog owner, to be an active partner in the training process. We will guide you every step of the way, equipping you with the knowledge and tools to maintain your dog’s good behavior long after the program is complete.
