Behaviour Modification & Rehabilitation

  Behav­iour Mod­i­fi­ca­tion & Rehabilitation

Our motto is ‘Pre­ven­tion is Bet­ter Than Cure’; If your dog has a ten­dency toward bad behav­iour, don’t despair. With a bit of firm but fair reha­bil­i­ta­tion train­ing we can help you cor­rect his unwanted behav­iours. Bet­ter yet, we can teach you how to curb unwanted bad behav­iours before they become bad habits.

 Most of the time your dog will have you laugh­ing at his antics, but once in a while these antics won’t be funny. Most dogs will do a naughty thing now and then, like jump­ing up on guests or chew­ing your favorite car­pet and this is only nat­ural. But when your dog con­tin­ues to mis­be­have and is repeat­ing the same unwanted behav­iour, at this point you have a seri­ous prob­lem on your hands because you are now faced with an unwanted habit which is dif­fi­cult to stop.

 Below are some com­mon unwanted behav­iours we can help you deal with,

  • Aggres­sion  - dog-to-dogs or dog-to-humans
  • Aggres­sion  - dri­ven by possession
  • Aggres­sion  - dri­ven by fear
  • Aggres­sion  - dri­ven by territoriality
  • Aggres­sion  - dri­ven by protectiveness
  • Bark­ing
  • Beg­ging
  • Does not like to be handled
  • Jump­ing up
  • Sep­a­ra­tion anxiety

Note: It is also impor­tant we point out that often a dog can dis­play more than one of  the above behav­iours at the same time.
