Moose used to lunge and bark at every mail carrier and previously bit a man’s ankles, causing an injury that required stitches. He is now calm on walks and no longer shows aggression toward people or other dogs.

Meja has a multiple-bite history toward dogs and humans. She would lunge and snap at visitors entering her mom’s office. After completing our 7-week Behavioral Modification program, this private lesson was held at her mom’s workplace to proof her training around people she had previously shown aggression toward. Meja was able to hold place, calmly coexist with other dogs in the office, allow visitors inside, and even take treats from them.
