When you have a dog, there are many areas where you may need some advice, like finding a vet in the area.  You have some to the right place.  If you do not find the information needed or have a question, please send me an email and I will send you further information.

What is the difference between training and behavior modification?  Training is teaching a dog to do something, like sit, stand, shake.  While behavior modification is changing a natural, enjoyable activity to the dog to something acceptable to you, like chewing on a table leg changed to chewing on a Nylabone.  Training enhances behavior modification in many cases by providing another action (like sitting to meet a visitor) to do rather than an inappropriate action (like jumping on people to be greeted).
