we believe

A Canine Behavior Specialist is able to assess each dogs individual emotional issues and modify the behavior through reconditioning,  positive, and negative reinforcement. Behavior Specialists are able to read and understand canine behavior beyond public knowledge. 

Behavior Specialists can work with either dogs and owners that have already developed some type of negative behavior or owners who want to work with their young dogs to prevent behavior issues from occurring in the future. They seek to identify and manage the root cause of behavior; kind of like therapists for dogs.

Our Behavior Specialists can also do what a typical Dog Trainer can do, such as teach your dog a new trick or learn reliable obedience!

 As a behavioralist they can help an owner manage and understand behavior issues such as aggression, barking, jumping, digging, anxiety, not coming when called, and more.

All of our programs are structured around communication and leadership first, because no amount of treats or toys can make up for a lack of trust, understanding, or respect. 

Due to the complex nature of the canine mind, we don’t advocate any single training method or tool. Each dog must be evaluated individually before the most effective method can be determined. We have made it our personal responsibility to become familiar with all the varying styles of dog training, which makes us capable of offering the most well-rounded, effective, and versatile programs in North Dakota.
