Do you have a good dog with tough problems?
Enjoying life with your pup can be hard when they’re struggling with behavioral issues. We can help.
Reactive on walks
Your dog is lunging at every person and dog that passes. Distracting them doesn’t help. You’ve stopped taking them for walks because you’re embarrassed by the unmanageable behavior.
Separation Anxiety
When you leave the house, your dog melts down. They’re crying incessantly, breaking out of crates, and the “calming treats” aren’t helping.
Fighting With siblings
Your dogs are constantly fighting. One second they’re fine, the next second, they snap. You have to keep them separated to avoid an emergency vet bill.
Resource Guarding
Your dog is snapping at others around food and toys. You dread them picking up something dangerous because you won’t be able to retrieve it safely.

We are Foundation Style Dog Trainers. Placing dog training on a spectrum of force-free to balanced is misleading, because it focuses entirely on tools. Getting into the semantics of whether a tool is “good” or “bad” is arbitrary. Many force free trainers utilize harnesses, Halti’s, and Gentle Leaders to stop pulling. These are all, by definition, tools for positive punishment - something added to discourage a behavior. This contradicts a force free label.
Instead of focusing on labels, it is better to focus on ethics:
Does the trainer prioritize the well being of your dog?
Can the trainer articulate why they are doing what they are doing in a way that makes sense to you?
Is the trainer fixing the problem you are paying them to fix effectively?
