In Home Training - Behavior Modification
Our Behavior Modification Program is designed to address challenging behaviors such as aggression, anxiety, fear, and reactivity. Using a science-based and compassionate approach, we focus on creating a customized plan that works for you and your dog.
We offer two packages for Behavior Modification training:
- 6-Session Behavior Modification Package: Perfect for addressing specific challenges such as mild anxiety, fear, or reactivity.
- 10-Session Behavior Modification Package: Ideal for tackling more complex behaviors like aggression, severe anxiety, or multiple challenges.
We strive to keep our behavior modification packages as financially accessible as possible. We also recognize that quality training with a certified professional is an important and sometimes critical investment for both dog and human. If you have special financial circumstances, please speak to us about our payment plans and alternative options.
In Home Training - Foundations & Manners
Build an incredible relationship with your dog while taking their manners and obedience skills to the next level with the expert training team at Freak on a Leash.
Whether you’re starting fresh with a new puppy or working through teenage chaos or adult dog challenges, we’ll help you create lasting change through positive, science-backed training.
