Behavior Adjustment Training for Dogs with Emotional Needs

Does your dog bark, lunge or cower away from other dogs, people or even things in its environment? Is walking your dog a nightmare as you are always concerned about seeing things that will cause him/her to react? As a certified Behavior Adjustment Trainer in the St Jon's Nl area ,I have the answers for you! "We take an environmental pressure that already exists and teach the dog to eliminate her own stress using natural behaviors chosen by her. We allow her to approach the source of her fear and retreat from it whenever she wants. The human’s role in BAT is primarily to gently stop the dog at the point of curiosity, before she goes too close—not to pull her toward the trigger. We neither train any specific behavior that we desire, nor do we create pressure to get it. We are not teaching the dogs merely to escape, but to thrive because they now have coping skills. They have to live with dogs/men/kids in their world and BAT teaches them to do that in a very natural way, driven by the dog’s own curiosity."
