DOGGIEOLOGY 101 INSIGHT
*There are multiple components that go into rehabilitating a dog’s unbalanced behavior. When diving into trying to fix it, it’s important that you have an understanding of dog psychology, how they communicate through body language, and how their state of mind impacts behavior. This is where we come in! Whether it’s through One-on-One Training or our Stay-n-Train Programs, we will teach you how to create rules, boundaries, and put structure into place in a way they understand; show you how to extinguish old toxic behaviors and put new healthy patterns into place. With your mindset firmly in this leadership role, paired with the training and tools that work best with your dog, you’ll be well on your way to achieving all your training goals!
*The Slippery Slope of Inconsistency…
Dogs are yes/no, black/white…they do not do GRAY…
Dogs receive mixed or confusing signals about acceptable states of mind and behavior. (Human pets the excited/jumping dog when getting home from work, but upset if the dog is excited/jumpy when people come over to visit…) This confusion often creates anxiety, stress or attitude issues that cause problems with the dog. These unbalanced states of mind can lead to unwanted pushy, challenging, or destructive behavior, along with nervous and/or fearful behaviors. If they are left to navigate “gray” situations or figure life out on their own, the unwanted behaviors often escalate. Consistency is KEY.
