Is Buddy possessive or territorial when it comes to his food bowl, toys, couch, or certain individuals or objects?
Does he react with growling, snapping, or even biting when you attempt to take away something he values?
Living with a dog that exhibits such behaviors can be intimidating, causing you to be afraid in your own home!
Living with a dog that appears to react aggressively to seemingly harmless situations can be anxiety-inducing. I'll provide insights into the reasons behind his behavior, giving you the tools to effectively address and manage these behaviors.
I'll guide you through interactive games and activities specifically designed to modify your dog's emotional responses. You'll witness your dog's perspective shift, where sharing is no longer seen as a loss but as an exciting opportunity for enjoyment and bonding.
Together, we'll create a personalized plan tailored to your lifestyle, ensuring both you and your dog are set up for success. This plan will establish an environment that promotes your dog's sense of security and reduces guarding tendencies, making your life smoother and more predictable.
Our efforts will strengthen the bond between you and your dog, facilitating improved communication and rebuilding trust. Your dog will come to see you as a partner rather than a threat to their cherished possessions.
I’m a life long pet guardian who has struggled firsthand with dog reactivity.
After struggling with my six year rescue, Louie’s reactivity, and finding no effective training options, I enrolled in the Karen Pryor Academy to better educate myself on the science behind animal behavior and positive reinforcement training.
The course changed Louie’s and my life.
Since then I’ve added to my credentials by certifying as a Fear-Free professional and a Canine First Aid responder and completed the Michael Shikashio Aggression in Dogs Masterclass.
I firmly believe that all dogs, irrespective of breed or background, can be trained through positive reinforcement. Science proves it.
I am now on a mission to empower dog guardians and their dogs with more positive experiences through behavior consulting and training so that they can be better companions to each other.
