Evaluating a dog’s unwanted behavior involves understanding the root causes, frequency, triggers, and environmental factors that contribute to the behavior.

Identifying Specific Behaviors: Clearly define the unwanted behavior(s)—such as barking, chewing, aggression, or anxiety—and observe how often, when, and where they occur.
Analyze Triggers: Note any situations, sounds, people, or animals that seem to prompt the behavior.
Assess Environmental Factors: Consider the dog’s environment, including their daily routine, amount of exercise, and social interactions.
Understand Breed Tendencies: Some breeds are naturally more prone to certain behaviors. Recognizing these tendencies can help tailor the approach.
Health and Pain Evaluation: Physical discomfort or underlying health issues can drive behaviors like irritability, aggression, or avoidance. It’s important to consult a veterinarian to rule out medical causes.
Determine Emotional State: Emotions like fear, anxiety, frustration, or boredom are often behind unwanted behaviors. Identifying the emotional cause can help in applying the right training methods.
Observe Body Language: A dog’s body language (e.g., tail position, ears, and posture) can give clues about how they’re feeling in the moment, helping to identify potential stress or anxiety.

Once these factors are evaluated, we can develop a targeted training plan that addresses both the symptoms and underlying causes of the unwanted behavior.

The price is 80 euros and that includes the daycare (40 euros), report on our findings, possible reasons for problems and how to proceed with solving the problem.
Sometimes we people interpret our dog´s behavior incorrectly and react, which causes problems to escalate.

Training an overly active dog requires a mix of physical exercise, mental stimulation, and clear, consistent guidance. Here are some effective strategies to help your energetic dog become calmer and more focused:

Increase Physical Exercise: High-energy dogs need plenty of daily physical activity.

Incorporate Mental Stimulation: Mental exercise can tire out a dog just as much as physical exercise.

Impulse Control Training: Teach commands like "sit," "stay," "wait," and "leave it" to build impulse control

Structured Playtime: Scheduled playtimes with set start and end points. Establishing when it's time to be energetic and when it's time to relax.

Calm Behavior: Reinforcing calmness by rewarding moments of relaxation.

This is additional training done during daycare day, so you need to book daycare first!

A dog training boot camp is an intensive, professional training program where dogs stay at a dog hotel for several days or weeks for behavioral modification.

The focus on obedience, behavior modification, and socialization.

Common goals include:

Obedience Training: Dogs learn basic commands like "sit," "stay," "come," and "heel," with a focus on improving response time and consistency.
Behavior Modification: For dogs with specific behavioral issues, such as aggression, excessive barking, separation anxiety, or leash reactivity, trainers use specialized techniques to address and modify unwanted behaviors.
Socialization: Many boot camps include supervised interactions with other dogs and people to improve a dog’s social skills, confidence, and comfort in different settings.
Impulse Control and Focus: Dogs learn to control their impulses in stimulating environments, helping them stay calm and focused around distractions.
Owner Training and Support: sessions with the owner, where trainers provide guidance on how to maintain and reinforce the training at home. Owners often receive detailed training instructions, videos, or follow-up sessions.

Dog boot camps can be helpful for busy pet owners or those needing professional support for challenging behaviors. We use only positive reinforcement methods to ensure a safe, effective training experience for the dog.
