Modification & Correcting Canine Behavior

The first step in analyzing canine behavior is a proper evaluation.

Evaluation helps the professional behaviorist / trainer analyze the dogs behavior and prepare a tailored step-by-step program.

During an evaluation the professional analyzes what stage the dog is currently in the hierarchy of the home.

If the behavior is related to lack of professional obedience training, then the first step will be redoing the obedience.

The professional trainer will use the strengths and weakness of the dog to obtain the end results. The trainer can work toward correcting the unwanted behavior and instilling the wanted behavior.

If the issue of the behavior is not obedience related, then we move on to the diagnostics.

Correcting a Problem

• Determine the cause(s)
• Advise the owner on the sequence of steps to stop the behavior

An experienced professional will not take short cuts. Short cuts cover up the unwanted behavior temporarily, but does not correct the problem.

Any behavior that is unwanted can be to a certain degree corrected or modified. Please note that: Situations, circumstances, breed, age, sex, genetics, environment and owner all play a major role.

Understanding, modifying and correcting canine behavior is a science. It's an art in itself where experienced trainers with behavioral comprehension can guide you. Those behaviors that can't be corrected nor modified will need to be analyzed further in dept
