Rehabilitation Training Camp & Lessons
|
Our highly-regarded Rehabilitation program is one of the very few programs in the DC area that is truly able to consistently provide world class results for the most severe behavior issues.
Kristina is an aggression specialist who successfully deals with severe canine behavior problems on a regular basis. She believes that with a committed owner, no dog is beyond rehabilitation. We truly can give you that new dog of your dreams. For dogs with reactivity and rehabilitation needs, much of our rehabilitation focus is based on “Training Between the Ears” (TBTE) principles and training developed by our colleague, Mark McCabe. TBTE techniques primarily use reward and relaxation strategies to change the emotional state of dogs and help them moderate their own emotions. The techniques aim to build better relationships with your dog by removing conflict, develop your dog’s self-motivation through success seeking behaviors, and changing your dog’s perception of the surrounding world so they are emotionally more relaxed and stable, and therefore resilient to external stressors. This package is for dogs with severe behavior problems like:
This is the only program we offer for dogs that have attacked a person or other animal, bitten humans or other animals, has intense resource guarding, or intent to do harm (including fear-aggression). Please contact us so that we can discuss the severity of your dog’s aggression so to create a program fit for your dog. |

In these 4 sessions, we will observe/evaluate your dog and situation and then develop a comprehensive training program to help in the journey to achieving your goals regarding obedience and behavior.
This program covers any issues during walks (lunging, barking, pulling, etc.) and basic obedience commands (sit/stay, down/stay, place, recall). We will also address behavior problems, such as jumping up, mouthing, nipping, counter surfing, or any other issues you might be experiencing. Our unique approach to dog training is geared more towards a fundamental state-of-mind change than it is strictly rehearsed behaviors. In other words, we are much more concerned with creating a happy, healthy, balanced dog than creating a dog that simply knows a few obedience commands. You will begin to see dramatic changes in your dog’s behavior within this first session. There will be homework! It is of utmost importance that the training be worked on diligently between sessions, by the whole family.
