Dog Behavior Support

Like humans, every animal is

also different from each other.

Each dog and breed has distinctive traits and characteristics that makes them unique from one another.

Because of this, pet owners who truly care about their dogs as part of their family must realize that it requires a unique and competitive instructor, to be able to help you with your dog to get them to where you are both comfortable with each other. To understand each other well beyond having your dog sit because you will provide a treat.

OUR APPROACH AND CONTINUED RESEARCH IS EMBEDDED IN WHAT IS CALLED ETHOLOGY.

The study of ethology has made significant contributions to our understanding of animal behavior, including the behavior of dogs.

The ethological approach to dog behavior is based on the idea that dogs have inherited certain behavior patterns from their wild ancestors, such as wolves. The Ethologist approach begins with the study of the behavior of wolves to gain insight into the behavior of domestic dogs.

Ethological Approach to Dog Behavior

The ethological approach to dog behavior is based on the idea that dogs have evolved over thousands of years to perform specific functions, such as hunting, guarding, and herding. Dogs have inherited certain behavior patterns from their wild ancestors, such as wolves.
The ethological approach considers a dog’s natural instincts, genetic makeup, and environmental factors to understand their behavior.
Our focus is to guide and instruct you how to build and enhance your relationship with your dog.
