Sometimes, our perfect pooch may display a behavior that both puzzles and upsets us. Typical behavior problems include growling, barking, or lunging at people and other dogs, destructive behaviors such as digging and chewing things up, the fear of loud or unfamiliar things or people, and separation anxiety. Changing your dog’s behavior takes some patience, time and a strong commitment from you. Our goal is to help you find the cause of your dog’s undesirable behavior, understand it, and take steps to improve, eliminate, or redirect the unwanted behavior into one that is more acceptable.
