Whether you have a mature dog that needs to learn some new tricks, a puppy in need of basic obedience training, or you are looking to remedy specific behavior issues, we are here for you. We work with all dogs to reduce the stress and tension that occurs when their negative behaviors make it a challenge for you and your family to enjoy time together.
We specialize in behavior modification training. We are experts in resolving aggression behaviors. With proper training, the chances of a dog being turned over to a shelter are greatly reduced. We realize that every dog has its own unique personality and history, so we do not believe in one-size-fits-all training. Your training will be tailored to your individual needs.
Owner/Lead Trainer, Eddie Rolon, has an unmatched reputation for being able to help the dogs that no one else can. For these dogs it is the difference between life and death. He has received many awards and accolades.
Pet Boarding
K9 boarding provides a safe and comfortable home away from home for your pup when you can't be there.
Board and Train
K9 board and train programs involve leaving your K9 with a professional trainer for an extended period. During this stay, your dog will receive intensive training sessions focused on obedience, behavior modification, or socialization, all aimed at achieving your specific goals.
Behavior Modification
K9 behavior modification utilizes positive reinforcement techniques like treats and praise to reward desired behaviors, while gradually extinguishing unwanted behaviors through techniques like desensitization and counterconditioning. This patient process builds a strong foundation for a well-behaved and happy K9.
Specialized Aggression Issue Resolution
Specialized aggression issues in K9's, like fear-based biting or leash reactivity, require a tailored approach from a qualified professional like a certified animal behaviorist. This often involves a combination of behavior modification techniques, management strategies, and sometimes medication to address the root cause of the aggression and create a safer environment.
Reactivity
K9 reactivity describes a dog's overly intense response to triggers like other K9's, noises, or people, which can manifest as barking, lunging, or cowering. It's important to distinguish reactivity from aggression, as reactive K9's often act out of fear or anxiety rather than true malice.
Socialization
Dog socialization involves exposing your K9 to a variety of people, animals, and environments during their critical development window (3-14 weeks) to promote comfort and positive interactions throughout their life. This helps them become well-adjusted, confident K9's who can handle new situations calmly.
Confidence Building
Positive reinforcement training with achievable commands builds a K9's confidence as they master skills, while gradually exposing them to new things in a safe way helps them feel comfortable in their environment.
Resource Guarding Modifications
Resource guarding modifications aim to address a K9's possessiveness over objects by building trust and creating positive associations around resource exchanges. This can involve desensitization exercises and teaching the animal to relinquish items calmly in exchange for rewards.
