Dogs can often exhibit behavior that is irksome, irritating, and sometimes frightening.
Hounds Unleashed! provides owners with a better understanding of their dog's behavior and creates tailor-made training programs to suit their individual needs.
Training Techniques
The training techniques utilized by Hounds Unleashed! focus on reinforcing desired behaviors through rewards, such as, food, praise, and play. When dealing with unwanted behaviors like excessive barking, leash aggression, and jumping up on guests, one must first determine what is reinforcing the behavior.
Be it good or bad, behaviors generally persist only when there is some type of "pay off". Your dog's state of mind and living conditions play a role in driving undesirable behaviors and must be taken into account. This approach to training helps owners to better understand their dogs. It also may open their eyes to ways in which they might be inadvertantly contributing to the development of bad habits.
