The A,B,C's of Behavior
If you're isolating your dog due to his behavior, or tired of struggling with the same problems over and over again, we’re here to help you and your dog. Dogs learn through consequence, and by association (operant and classical conditioning). They think in terms of works/doesn't work and safe/unsafe. Our work with behavior problems are based on the scientific principles of operant and classical conditioning. We look at the A,B,C's of behavior: A being the antecedent ( what precedes the behavior- a trigger or cue), B = Behavior, and C is the consequence (what is reinforcing the behavior- keeping it strong). In order to change behavior we can change the A- Antecedent (trigger or cue), or C-the Consequence. We use mark and reward based training with no fear, pain, or intimidation.
Beginning with an initial behavior assessment, we will develop a training and management plan that methodically builds desirable behaviors in place of undesirable ones.

When our Border Collie mix started displaying anxiety and aggression issues we thought there was no hope. He began biting people and fighting with my other dogs. It was horrific! I feared for the safety of my family. Then I was introduced to Caroline Albert. All I can say is “SHE IS AMAZING!!!!!!!!!” While I have worked with others who use the Clicker Method of training, no one has mastered the technique like her. She is truly gifted. Training from an aspect of love, patience and forgiveness she has transformed our pup into a much calmer and happier guy. Words cannot express my gratitude to her. Whether you are looking for some basic training or you have a pet with issues, you could do no better than Caroline!"
