WHY OBEDIENCE FAILS

//www.thethinkingk9.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/01/puppy-needs.png

YOUR DOG'S PROBLEM ISN'T OBEDIENCE; IT'S BEHAVIOR.

 

Did you know that obedience and behavior are fundamentally different? This distinction can be seen in the comparison between dogs in some rural farming settings vs dogs in urban dwellings. The farm dogs did not possess obedience training, yet they lived in harmony with their human family, displaying good behavior, such as not damaging the house or jumping on guests, despite not being familiar with even the simplest command, such as "down."

 

In today's world, many dogs with behavior problems have received training in obedience commands like sit, leave it, and recall. Some excel in obedience... but only when they feel like it. Therein presents the problem.

THE LIMITATIONS OF OBEDIENCE

Obedience falls short as it relies on the dog's willingness or external pressure to comply. Even if a dog has mastered a range of obedience commands, their lack of willingness poses great difficulties.

BEHAVIOR SCIENCE

By employing comprehensive techniques rooted in neuroscience, ethology, and psychology, we can successfully address behavior issues, going beyond mere obedience. We can reshape your dog's mindset, guiding them towards making appropriate choices independently, and eliminating the need for confrontation.

Virtual option

Tackle harder behaviors that only occur at home via online training!

 

The most significant advantage of Zoom meetings over in-person is that we can help inside the home without outside elements affecting your dog's behavior. Introducing something new to the home, such as another person, alters your dog's behavior. It is important, if not necessary, to see your dog's behavior in as natural of a circumstance as possible.

 

The technology of online training can significantly help us get to the root of the problem FASTER!
