Struggling with Your Dog’s Behavior? We Get It.
Feel like your dog’s in charge at home? If you’re in Gainesville—maybe Haile Plantation, Tioga, Jonesville, Newberry, Archer, Millhopper, or University Park—you’re not alone. Many owners deal with leash reactivity, resource guarding, or stubbornness. Dogs don’t just “grow out of it.” They need structure and leadership.
Why “Just Being Nice” Isn’t Enough
Science (thanks, Dr. Bruce Fogle) shows that when a dog “wins” a standoff, their body rewards them with a hormonal boost. That makes them more likely to repeat the behavior. If you’re hoping to “love away” the problem, you might be making it worse.
Sound familiar?
- Guarding a toy in Duckpond
- Refusing to come inside in Suburban Heights
- Ignoring commands in Millhopper
Every time you back down, the behavior gets stronger. That’s why we focus on balanced training—structure, consistency, and positive reinforcement.
