Our expertise encompasses behavioral issues including aggression, separation anxiety, and sibling rivalry, just to name a few. Our dog behavioral therapists use effectual canine behavior training to help you, and your dog, achieve lasting results for a healthier relationship between you and your canine companion.
Dog Aggression
Dog aggression is a learned behavior that often stems from the dog feeling vulnerable, fearful, or unprotected. Often, it develops as a means of survival, or because of a misrepresentation of the dog’s role in their family.
Getting to the root of this behavior is critical to finding what triggers your dog to become aggressive and is the key step for successful intervention. Through behavior training for dogs, we can begin to focus on many different types of dog aggression, including:
- Aggression with other dogs
- Aggression towards humans
- Food aggression
- Possessive aggression
- Territorial aggression
Separation Anxiety
Dogs can become conditioned not only to enjoy but to expect their families to be around. When dogs return to being alone more often – and do not understand why – the confusion can manifest itself as Separation Anxiety, a complex behavioral issue with negative consequences. If addressed early, however, pooches and parents can save themselves from headaches.
- Vocalization (excessive howling and barking)
- Inappropriate toileting
- Destructive behavior (like chewing and digging)
- Excessive panting
- Pacing and drooling
Sibling Rivalry
Whether dogs are actual siblings or simply living together, sibling rivalry is one of the most serious issues people face with their dogs in multi-dog households. Bark Busters trainers can help identify the underlying causes of such rivalry issues and implement strategies to resolve them before they escalate. Factors contributing to sibling rivalry can include:
- Avoiding pain
- Lack of leadership
- Favoritism
- Inconsistency
