Our handlers have the experience to help you correct undesired behaviors in your dog.
At Ruff Tales, we are proud to be a local, family-owned company dedicated to caring for dogs in the Houston, Texas area. We offer a variety of pet care services aimed at maintaining dogs’ health and happiness and improving relationships between pet and owner. These services include various types of training.
We recommend dog behavior training if your dog is exhibiting undesirable behaviors or if you want to nip those behaviors in the bud before your dog gets used to acting a certain way without intervention. For instance, if your dog barks excessively, jumps on people, pulls on their leash, chews on things they shouldn’t, or guards resources, dog behavior training helps them to stop.
Our approach to dog behavior training involves using positive reinforcement to promote desirable, “incompatible” behaviors, like sitting instead of jumping. Your dog cannot do the incompatible behavior and the undesirable one at the same time because it is either physically impossible or very difficult. Positive reinforcement for the desired behavior, like giving them a treat, is effective at curbing their barking, jumping, chewing, etc.
When you turn to our team for dog behavior training, we will conduct a behavioral assessment of your dog and create a customized plan to help correct their behaviors and strengthen your relationship with them at home. We can also provide either private dog training or group classes, depending on your needs and preferences.
