Q & A
Need some help teaching your pup polite behaviors or modifying a troublesome behavior he's already practicing?
WoofGang's dog training methodology applies positive training techniques. Reward-based training is an effective and non-aversive way of learning for dogs. It facilitates the acquisition of new behavior without causing fear or anxiety.
For a safer, happier relationship with your dog, let WoofGang guide you in overcoming training and behavioral challenges like the following:
- Does your dog bark and lunge at passing dogs on the street? She is showing leash reactivity, a behavior that can be very successfully treated.
- Does your dog threaten people coming into the home? He is exhibiting territorial aggression which, if left untreated, could eventually result in injury to your guests. See our Dog Blog for tips.
- Does your dog bark or bristle at strangers, passers-by, or children? She may be expressing fear-based aggression, often due to her under-socialization as a puppy.
- Does your dog stiffen or growl when you approach his bowl, a chew toy, or his favoriate resting spot? He is resource guarding, a potentially dangerous behavior, especially in a home with children.
- Does your dog bark, destroy things, or break housetraining in your absence? Does she refuse food and water or groom herself excessively while you're away? She may be suffering from separation anxiety.
