What to Expect From Us: Our Behavior Modification Techniques
Our 10-week program is designed to help your dog transform their behavior for good. We take the time to dig deep and uncover the root of your dog's issues and unwanted behavior. By addressing these core concerns, we build up your pup's confidence and resilience in areas where they struggle.
Once we've tackled the behavioral needs, we move on to cover the same steps as our successful board & train program. This approach gives your dog a well-rounded education, setting them up for success in all areas of life.
Over these 10 weeks, you'll see your dog grow and change in ways you never thought possible. We work on everything from loose leash walking to social skills with other dogs. Our goal is to help your furry friend become a well-adjusted, happy member of your family and to improve your dog's behavior for as long as they're with you.
By the end of the program, you'll have a dog that's better behaved and more confident and relaxed in its day-to-day life. It's an investment in your dog's future and your relationship with them.

What to Expect From Us: Our Behavior Modification Techniques
At Complex Canine, we use a variety of techniques to help a fearful dog or a stressed-out dog overcome their challenges. Our methods are designed to address problems, ease discomfort, and alleviate anxiety and fear.
One of our go-to tools is positive reinforcement. We reward good behavior, making it more likely for your dog to repeat those actions in the future. This might involve treats, praise, or play – whatever motivates your pup the most. There's also clicker training, a form of operant conditioning that helps dogs make positive associations with certain behaviors. The click sound marks the exact moment your dog does something right, making it easier for them to understand what we're asking of them.
For dogs struggling with fearful behavior, we use desensitization and counter-conditioning. These techniques involve gradually exposing your dog to what scares them while pairing it with something positive. Over time, this helps change the emotional response of fearful dogs from a stressful reaction to calm acceptance.
We also work on impulse control exercises. These help your dog learn to think before they act, which is crucial for addressing issues like resource guarding or reactivity to other dogs.
Throughout the process, we closely monitor your dog's body language. This helps us gauge their comfort level and adjust our approach as needed. We never push a dog beyond what they can handle – our goal is to build confidence, not create more stress. You can trust a Complex Canine dog trainer to help bring a clear path and comfort to your pup, and you'll feel the EXACT same way knowing that your dog is on the path to better behavior.
We Can Help Curb:
Leash Reactivity
Does your dog turn into a lunging mess when they see another dog on walks? Leash reactivity is a common issue, but it's one we can help with. We'll work on building positive associations with other dogs and teaching your pup to focus on you instead of reacting.
Aggressive Behavior Toward People and Animals
Are you tired of hearing your dogs bark as humans walk by or as you stroll through the park and see other animals? If your dog shows signs of aggression, don't despair. We can help you understand what's triggering this behavior and work on addressing it. Through careful management and positive training techniques, we can help your dog learn to feel more comfortable and less threatened in various situations.
Separation Anxiety
Does your dog panic when you leave them alone? Separation anxiety can be tough on both dogs and their owners, and the causes of behavior can be difficult to pinpoint. For us, the solutions are obvious. We'll work on building your dog's confidence and independence, helping them feel more secure when you're not around.
Behavioral Modification Tips and Insight to Help Your Pup
Record Your Dog's Behavior
Try capturing video evidence of your dog's problem behavior. This can help us spot triggers you might miss in the moment. Plus, it gives us a clear picture of what's happening when you're not actively training.
Learn Your Dog's Body Language
Dogs communicate primarily through body language. Learning to read your pup's subtle signals can help you intervene before a situation escalates. Watch for things like ear position, tail carriage, and overall body posture, especially when around another human or some other dog.
Keep a Behavior Journal
Jot down notes about your dog's behavior. Include details like what happened before the behavior, what the behavior looked like, and what happened afterward. This information can help us spot patterns and tailor our approach more effectively, helping you communicate details you may forget over the days and weeks after the incident.
