Behavior Modification

---

Behavior modification is a systematic approach to changing a dog's behavior and emotional responses. It's different from training, which focuses on teaching a dog to respond to a cue or prompt. Behavior modification explores a dog's motivation and emotional needs to change how they feel and act in response to a situation, person, thing, or animal.

Behavior modification can address a wide range of issues, including:

• Aggression
• Reactive behaviors on walks
• Fear
• Separation anxiety
• Excessive barking
• Resource guarding
• Territorial-based behavior
• Excessive attention-seeking
• Compulsive based behaviors
