Dog Owners, are you at your wit’s end?

If this describes your relationship with your dog, you’re not alone.

• Do you struggle to take your dog for a walk because he’s pulling and lunging at other dogs or people?
• Do you have to lock him away when you have visitors, because you fear for their safety?
• Do you ever think to yourself, I wish I’d never gotten this dog…

Dog Whisperer or Dog Trainer…What does your dog need right now?

My dog won’t listen….If your dog doesn’t consistently obey your commands, won’t come when called, or seems to have “selective hearing” when you ask him to do something, an obedience trainer can help you.

What if my dog is good at obedience but still has behavior issues like aggression, fearfulness, separation anxiety, relentless barking or eliminating in the house? It’s time to become your dog’s pack leader!

Obedience training is important for your relationship with your dog and  giving you more control, but it won’t eliminate serious behavior issues; it teaches commands, but doesn’t necessarily change behavior. An aggressive dog that learns sit, stay and come will still be an aggressive dog.

Most behavior problems arise because the dog thinks he is the top dog…the leader of the pack. The leader’s job is to protect and provide, and a dog that thinks he’s the leader takes the job seriously.

Leadership from the humans is the key to resolving behavior issues, from growling and lunging at other dogs, aggression toward people, relentless barking, to separation anxiety and even eliminating in the house.

Dog Whispering changes behavior by changing the dog’s position in the pack, and teaching the humans to be the “pack leader” by communicating with their dogs using energy and body language, in the way that dogs naturally communicate with each other. A balanced, well-behaved dog looks to the human for leadership, safety, food and all other good things in life, and can just relax and enjoy being a dog!

Become your dog’s pack leader and eliminate those nagging fears about your dog seriously hurting someone, or another animal… followed by an Animal Control Officer knocking on your door, and a lawsuit from your neighbor.

Learn to appeal to your dog’s natural instincts by becoming the leader of the pack in your DOG’S eyes, using a series of behavior modification techniques that will transform your dog into the calm, enjoyable well-behaved friend you’ve always wanted.

These are some of the most common behavior issues we deal with.

• Aggression toward other dogs, or people…and the risk of injury and lawsuits
• Multiple dog household issues…inter-dog aggression, behavior “peer pressure”
• Food aggression and possessive aggression over toys and bones
• Dragging you down the street, growling and lunging at other dogs
• Relentless barking at passersby, squirrels, other dogs, you or your friends
• Jumping on you and your guests when they walk in the door
• Fear of new people or new experiences, including loud noises, sudden movements, shadows
• Difficulty assimilating new family members, from babies to significant others, and other dogs, to cats
• Separation anxiety and the stress and destruction that often come with it
• Eliminating in the house
