Whether your dog is reactive, fearful, resource guarding, or showing aggressive behavior, our Behavior Modification Retreat is designed to help you understand what's driving those behaviors and build lasting change.

Owning a borderline-aggressive dog can feel isolating, exhausting, frustrating-and sometimes hopeless.

Hand on chest, we reassure you that you are not alone.

We know your dog is worth loving and we’re in this with you.

Gosh, it hurts your heart knowing there’s the slightest chance your dog’s behavior poses a threat to someone's safety. If it’s already happened to you or someone you love, it’s just gut-wrenching. Because it doesn’t change the fact you still love your dog. You just hope your dog can somehow change the way they react to others, for their sake, and for everyone else’s.

Again, we promise you’re not alone.

You may be wondering what’s causing your dog to act this way. We wish we could tell you, but honestly, we can’t. Every dog has their own individual personality, history, and past exposures to certain environments. It could very well be a number of things.

One thing we know for sure is that it’s not your fault.

In our Behavior Modification Program, your dog will learn how to calmly socialize with others in a neutral space (that’s our home, by the way) as we commit them to a tailored plan fit for their behavioral issues. “Measurable” progress aside, our goal is to support your dog in becoming the confident companion you know they can be.

  • “For anyone struggling with their dog’s behavior, or just needing a little bit of a mindset shift in your life with your dog, I highly encourage you to reach out to Tiffany. Throughout my whole experience with For the Love of Dog, I have had amazing support, with coaching videos, check-ins, and getting all my silly questions answered. Tiffany is so knowledgeable about dogs and really tuned into what my pup’s individual needs were, and how to help me understand that.”

  • “Our puppy was experiencing fear-based reactivity and separation anxiety. Now, we have seen such a tremendous change in [our dog’s] state of mind. She not only trained our puppy but coached us at the same time so we could learn how to make the necessary adjustments to support our puppy and positively reinforce what he learned once he came home from the program. We will definitely be clients for life!”

  • We are balanced trainers using all four quadrants of operant conditioning in our training and approach each family with an individualized curriculum keeping their goals in mind.

  • Unlike a training facility or boarding kennel, your dog will sleep safe and soundly in the comfort of our home!

  • Dogs actually have not changed much. We as humans have increased our expectations, asking our dogs to be a more integrated part of our lives. Due to that we continue to further our education in not just training dogs but how to coach humans to communicate effectively with their best friends.

  • Consider how busy you are. Do you have time to work with your dog? No matter which option you choose, you must have availability in your schedule to meet your dog halfway.

  • The most important part of this process is that you feel confident to incorporate a new routine. Depending on the program, I’ll meet with you for a follow-up lesson, a comprehensive manual, and clear instructions on how to keep your dog accountable.

  • Yes! We are small enough to accommodate unique meals such as raw diets and other specialized eating requirements.
