BK9 offers Behavioral Modification Assistance

Some dog behaviors leave us feeling frustrated, confused and even exhausted. Anxiety, fear, destructive beahviors, dominance and times when your dog literally runs off & ignores you can all challenge and even destroy your relationship with your dog. Let BK9 help you uncover & uproot the causes of these behaviors! Together we will break down the problems and rebuild a brighter future for your dog & your household.

Separation Anxiety / Fear

Does your dog shake or trimble at the sound of fireworks or thunder storms?
Do loud noises cause your dog to panic?
When you leave your home, does your dog destroy the door or window seal?
Is it nearly impossible to do simple things like trim your dogs nails?

Anxiety & Fear often play a large role in our dogs unwanted behaviors. But sometimes it just breaks our hearts to see them so afraid of things that won't hurt them. Fear & anxiety can also hinder our ability to particiapte in normal activities that we want to or even NEED to do with our dogs. Let BK9 help you mold and manage fear behaviors, eliminating them entirely in many cases.

Destructive Behaviors

How many times have you gone to work or out for a nice night on the town and returned home to find the trash can has been emptied onto every square inch of your kitchen floor? Have you discovered that missing items around the yard were actually eaten by your dog? We've even had a client who's dog would steal her jewelry - nothing else - every time she'd leave it on the dresser or night stand. Chewing up the $200 living room coffee table may bring you to the end of your proverbial dog leash and send you to Craigslist to see if anyone will take him off your hands! But remember that cute puppy you brought home with every intention of loving, training & providing for!? Well, let us help you bring that back! Destructive behaviors are caused by miscommunications, anxiety, boredom and physical needs. At BK9, we excavate these problems together and find REAL, lasting solutions!

Run Aways - No Recall

* Does your dog ignore you when you call?

* When the door opens, does your dog dart out uninvited?

* Are you afraid if your dog gets out, you'll never see him again?

Most of the time when a dog fails to return when called, it is simply that s/he has not been taught the proper response in a way the dog understands or that motivates the dog. Quiet often this behavior begins very innocently on the part of both you and your dog and grows into a big problem before you know it. During your sessions with BK9, you will learn step by step how to break down the problem and develop a reliable recall with your dog!
