From potty-training and teething to anxiety and reactivity, we have the team to coach you. Our training will impact your dog, but a thorough understanding of the difference between behavior and obedience training is vital to its success. What is the Difference Between Obedience and Behavior? Most people link dog training with obedience training – sit, down, stay, come, and more. Over the years, we have worked with many dogs that “Know Commands” but still exhibit behavior problems that are unbearable. A dog’s knowledge of words and commands is not a guarantee that they will have a healthy mental development. It is easy to get lost with all the sensory overload in a dog’s world if you do not have the right perspective. Understanding what makes a dog’s day is essential for their care and training. Your View of the Problem May Only Be Scratching the Surface.
