ARE YOU DEALING WITH:
Aggression?
Resource Guarding?
Separation Anxiety?
Reactive Behavior?
Fearful/Anxiety?
House Training Issues?
Destructive Behavior?
The first thing we want you to know is that you're not alone! The second thing we want you to know is HELP IS AVAILABLE! Private one-on-one behavior consultation can help you identify the source and implement a proactive plan. Pup 'N Iron Canine Enrichment Center™ offers individualized one-on-one behavior treatment plans and behavior modification programs to address specific behavior problems not addressed in regular obedience and manners classes. Rather than merely suppressing the behavior with aversive tools such as e-collars (electric stimulation), prong collars, corrections and punishment, we utilize science-based methods and follow the American Veterinary Society of Animal Behavior's recommended protocol of addressing the emotional state and environmental conditions driving the undesirable behavior, then implement techniques to teach and reinforce alternate acceptable behaviors, build confidence and improve the human/animal relationship.
Our behavior department is under the direction of Laurie C. Williams BA CCUI CTDI Fear Free Certified Trainer. Read Laurie's bio here.
The Initial Consultation - Each behavior modification and private training program begins with an initial consultation with the client, most often conducted virtually over Zoom. In order to design an effective modification program, it is important that a behavior consultant have as much information about a dog’s history, environment, daily activities, and interactions as they can. The initial consultation is an in depth gathering of this information and thorough review of manifestations of the problematic behavior. We prefer to conduct it virtually, in which the client is in the comfort of their own home and not tasked with managing their dog during the interview. We have found this leads to a much more productive and valuable experience. It also offers clients more flexibility and convenience. The initial virtual consultation is included in the pre-paid purchase of a 6 or 8 week package, or can be purchased as a stand alone session before committing to purchase a full package for $150. If a package is purchased, the $150 will be deducted from the full package price and used as the first session..

Behavior Consultation Policies (PLEASE READ)
All training sessions/packages, including stand alone initial consultations must be pre-paid in full within 48 hours of your appointment. Weekly behavior consultations must be pre-scheduled at the most convenient times for both owner/handler and trainer at least one week in advance. Sessions may be scheduled from week to week, however the best way to ensure trainer availability is to set up standing appointments for the same day and time each week. Pre-scheduled and pre/paid sessions may be rescheduled, however if not done so within at least 24 hours notice, payment for that session will be forfeited. If for any reason you are unable to complete your pre-paid package, a prorated refund may be requested, minus the number of sessions completed charged at the single session rate ($150/hr.).
*IN THE INTEREST OF SAFETY, HUMAN AGGRESSIVE DOGS WITH BITE HISTORIES MUST BE MUZZLED.*
