Real Solutions for Real Behavior Problems
From constant barking to destructive chewing, reactivity, or separation anxiety, behavior problems can make life stressful. Pawformance’s Behavioral Training Program gives you proven systems to replace chaos with calm, using positive reinforcement and humane training methods.
Why Behavioral Training Matters
Problem behaviors don’t go away on their own — in fact, they usually get stronger the longer they’re practiced. With early intervention, clear communication, and consistent systems, we can stop the cycle and build healthier habits.
Common Issues We Help With
Excessive Barking – Understanding triggers and teaching calm alternatives.
Jumping on People – Replacing excitement with polite greetings.
Destructive Chewing – Redirecting energy into appropriate outlets.
Separation Anxiety – Building independence and reducing stress when left alone.
Leash Reactivity – Helping dogs stay calm around other dogs, people, or triggers.
Overexcitement or Impulse Control – Teaching calm choices instead of chaos.
Our Approach
- Functional Assessment: We look at what drives the behavior (antecedent → behavior → consequence).
- Management First: We prevent the dog from rehearsing unwanted behavior while training new habits.
- Positive Reinforcement: We teach replacement behaviors that get your dog the outcome they want — but in a way that works for you.
- Owner Education: You’ll learn how to read your dog’s signals, manage the environment, and reinforce success.
Results You Can Expect
A calmer home environment.
Less frustration and stress for both you and your dog.
Safer interactions with people, children, and other dogs.
A renewed sense of trust and teamwork.
