The What & Why of Behavior Assessments
One of our most requested services is what we offer for those who are struggling with their dogs’ behaviors: the Intensive Behavior Program and the Behavior Jumpstart. One thing that makes both these programs unique is our emphasis on assessment as the first step before we start any kind of training work with our clients. Potential clients often ask us, “Why can’t we just get started with training?” Or “My dog is really struggling, we need to make changes right away, why should we do an assessment?”
