At Dr. Shaun’s Dog Training, we employ scientifically-backed, positive reinforcement training methods that respect your dog’s individual personality while addressing behavior issues effectively. Our approach to dog behavior modification combines classical conditioning, operant conditioning, and modern animal behavior science to create lasting change.

Our training tools and techniques are carefully selected based on your dog’s needs and temperament. For dogs with separation anxiety, we implement gradual desensitization protocols. For aggressive dogs, we use controlled exposure and counter-conditioning techniques. Every aspect of our Obedience Training program is designed to build confidence, reduce stress, and create positive associations with good behavior.

We believe in transparency throughout the training process. Our Dog Training Options range from basic commands like sit, stay, and heel to advanced behavioral issues including leash reactivity, resource guarding, and dog aggression. Each dog receives a customized training plan that addresses their specific challenges while building on their natural strengths.
