Austin Dog Training and Behavior Services
Everyone longs for a well-behaved dog that they can comfortably take out in public places without the worry of embarrassing out-of-control doggie behaviors. Contrary to popular belief, dogs do not purposefully misbehave. They are behaving as dogs do naturally. It is up to the people to provide leadership and guidance to their dogs. That is the only way dogs will know what is acceptable and what is not acceptable behavior in our human world.
Behavior problems are the number one reason why dogs are surrendered to a shelter. It's often the number one reason why owners are afraid to take their dog out in public, or invite guests over to their house.
