When a dog develops a chronic behavioral issue, it puts pressure on the entire family.
Many of us don’t know how to handle the problem, so we manage it the best we can. We stop walking the dog. We stop inviting people over. We arrange our schedules so he or she is never left alone.
But when we settle on managing a problem, we lower our expectations, and with it, our baseline for happiness.
Dog psychology is very different from human psychology, so the first step to improving the behavior is understanding the behavior. Many pet owners tend to humanize their dogs and rationalize what is causing the problems. Many times, this reinforces the behavior we are hoping to change.
At 4Paws, we have dealt with a wide array of behavioral problems, including aggression, anxiety, leash walking, resource guarding, counter surfing, recall, separation issues, destructive behavior, and over-excitement. We can help you bring your dog back into harmony with your household. Contact us today for a free consultation.
We stand behind our work and will guarantee results.
