180dog

Programs begin with a Behavior Assessment Intake Form and a 90-minute initial consultation to evaluate the dog’s emotions, triggers, and behavior. A personalized Behavior Modification Map is created, followed by weekly hands-on sessions conducted in the home. Sessions gradually expand to other environments as the dog gains confidence. Programs typically last 2–4 months with consistent weekly sessions. Puppy training focuses on socialization, house training, and foundational obedience. Basic obedience includes step-by-step commands tailored to the owner’s goals. Behavior modification targets anxiety, aggression, fear, and guarding with positive, non-punitive methods.
