Behavior Rehabilitation Program

Behavior rehabilitation is needed when the negative behaviors are deeply ingrained in a dog. Aggression, whether dominance or fear based, is a very good candidate for behavior rehabilitation. Frustration and anxiety are also behaviors that need deeper more personalized approach in rehabilitating the dog.

All dogs must go through an initial Evaluation and consultation before signing up.

This option provides immediate and intense mental, emotional and behavioral rehabilitation for the dog. We must restructure the dog's relationship with his world, his family and his leader, in most cases permanently!

This board and train program ensures that the dog receives the maximum ammount of attention from the trainer on consistent basis. Dogs undergoing Behavior Rehabilitation live with their trainer and upon completion owners undergo several follow up lessons to learn how to communicate and reinforce the newly learned skills.

If your initial consultation recommends a behavior rehabilitation program, it will typically be paired with Obedience Training to replace those strongly ingrained negative behavior with something more acceptable. Behavior Rehabilitation is only available as a Board and Train program. Due to the intensity of this program Behavior Rehabilitation is not available as an In Home training program.

Follow up lessons however can be done In Home or On Location.

Who Should Attend: Severe behavioral issues such as handler aggresion, human aggression, dog aggresion, phobias, obsessive compulsive behaviors, fear related issues, dogs with one last chance before euthanasia, red flad cases, etc.

Time: Ten (10) days at Board and Train and three (3) follow-up lessons where instructor, dog and owner work together.

Note: The main focus is on controlling and resolving the major behavioral issues. In addition the dog will be introduced to all commands included with Level I and II.
