Behavior Issues

In most cases, behavior problems are really communication problems. When you stop to think about it, it's amazing humans and dogs can live together at all. Besides being totally different animals, we also see, hear, smell, taste, and feel the world very differently -- and process it all through a very different brain.

Living with Dogs has highly qualified, professional trainers who use only positive and proactive training techniques. We are force free trainers who can help you solve behavior issues. Often we can evaluate dogs within the context of a Family Dog class, if they are safe around other dogs and people.

If you have a behavior problem, we would be happy to discuss this with you and suggest alternatives. The alternatives include taking an existing class or referring you to one of our trainers for private sessions. If during the training sessions we conclude that you may need additional help we may refer you to a veterinary behavior specialist for further evaluation.
