BEHAVIORAL ISSUES

Behavioral issues are common in dogs. Why? Bad breeding/ genetics, poor diet, trauma, and often, behaviors that their owners have unknowingly reinforced. This is a fact that many owners don’t like hearing. But, like a child, dogs don’t come with instruction manuals, and many of the dog training books out there were written by people who don’t have a lot of real-world experience but rather a great PR team. Jessica knows from her decades of experience how to truly “read” a dog. Her decades of proper academic study of behavioral science guide her to use the processes and procedures a good behavior modifier uses. Ones that most trainers do not know about, as it was not in their courses from dog training schools. Jessica performs a proper functional analysis as well as functional assessment of all lessons. Here are examples of a couple of cases Jessica has worked with.
