Why Choose Toko Dogs for Behavior Modification Dog Training?

Expertise Highlight

Our behavioral programs start with the fundamentals taught in our Obedience Training Programs. Once your dog has a strong understanding of obedience commands, we can begin to shape your dog’s actions in different situations. We will use the Four Quadrants of Operant Conditioning, holistic and environmental changes, obedience, and prevention to address your dog’s bad manners and give them the support and motivation to implement their good manners.

Approach

There is no one-size-fits-all program, and there are rarely quick-fixes in dog training. Through our personalized program, you and your dog will learn how to handle new environments, distractions, and stressors in healthy and socially appropriate ways!
