Having a dog with behavioral issues can feel
Your feelings are real, and they’re valid.
Seeing your dog struggle is incredibly tough.
And the hardest part:
It often comes with a loss of quality of life for both of you.
But if you keep going, there is so much joy on the other side!
Let’s talk about what behavior modification training can do for your and your dog.
Reward Your Dog Training specializes in the following behavior issues:
-
You want your dog to be social with other dogs, but they bark, lunge, or snap at other dogs? Maybe your dog has even bitten another dog? Learn how to help your dog live more harmoniously with other dogs.
-
It can be really scary if your dog struggles with people approaching, talking to, or looking at them - especially if their response is to growl, bark, lunge or snap. Learn strategies to keep your dog and other people safe and improve your dog’s comfort around people.
-
While dog and human reactivity are the most common kinds of reactivity, maybe your dog displays reactivity in a different way, for example around things with wheels, valued resources like food and toys, novel objects, and more. Learn methods to help your dog overcome their big reactions for a more peaceful coexistence.
-
Is your dog a scaredy cat and struggles with fear, stress and anxiety living in the world? Learn how to help your dog gain confidence and decrease their anxiousness step by step.

Does your dog hate nail trims, ear cleaning, grooming, wiping their paws, taking baths, or being examined at the vet? Learn methods and skills to give your dog choice and agency while making sure they’re getting the care they need.

Does your dog struggle with a variety of stressors and usually lives in a high state of stress? Learn ways to alleviate the pressures you and your dog are facing and work towards recovery.
Ways to work with
Reward Your Dog Training
Reward Your Dog Training offers both in person as well as virtual behavior coaching.
If you’d like to meet with me in person, the first step is to check if you’re within the RYDT travel radius.
If you’re not in the radius but would still like to work with me, virtual training is an excellent and surprisingly effective option for behavior coaching.
Reward Your Dog Training recommends choosing virtual coaching for the following behavioral issues, depending on your goal:
aggression towards people
body handling and vet care issues
overstimulation around new people
Please note that if your dog is stressed by new people in the home or has bitten a person, the first session will be virtual, no matter if you are in the RYDT travel radius or not.
