Anxiety and Fear Behavior Modification
When our canine friends get anxious, they might manifest their fears in a number of ways, such as excessive biting, trembling, destructive chewing, aggression, and even incontinence and elimination issues. Your dog’s inability to cope with stressful situations might cause a lot of problems, but it’s important to remember that fear and anxiety can have a lot of impact on your dog’s quality of life and their relationship with their owner.
These fears might arise from a variety of situations — separation from their owner, unfamiliar environments, loud noises, severe weather, other dogs, and unfamiliar people. By addressing these issues, you can help your dog live a much happier, less stressful life. Through anxiety and fear behavior modification, we’ll work with your dog to lessen their emotional responses by helping them feel safer and more confident. By doing so, we’ll help reduce their stress reactions and teach them to handle anxiety-triggering situations more calmly.
Empowering Confidence
Trust is a cornerstone of dog training processes, especially when it comes to training anxious or fearful dogs. Sit Means Sit leverages tactics that help your dog feel more secure and know what is expected of them, thus reducing their anxiety. During training, we’ll:
- Establish strong bonds of communication
- Promote and encourage focus and confidence
- Practice impulse control exercises
- Use gradual, controlled exposure to anxiety-inducing situations to promote learning
- Encourage reactive behavior through redirection
Through impulse control, obedience training, and positive reinforcement, Sit Means Sit helps anxious dogs become more confident and relaxed, both on- and off-leash.
