Behavior Reset (6–8 Weeks)

• Leash reactivity (dogs, people, traffic)

• Explosive arousal at thresholds (doors, windows, fences)

• Anxiety-driven behaviors

• Resource guarding (mild to moderate cases)

• Overstimulation that turns into chaos

• Household instability or inconsistent obedience under stress

If your dog has a documented bite history or severe aggression, we will discuss appropriate next steps during the assessment.

We do not “suppress behavior.”
We build structure that reduces the need for it.

Behavior problems are often:

• Lack of clarity

• Lack of impulse control

• Lack of environmental neutrality

• Reinforced patterns (even unintentionally)

Reset means we interrupt chaos patterns and rebuild structure deliberately.

Neutrality & Regulation

• Structured leash handling

• Distance-based exposure progression

• Marker timing for calm decisions

• Controlled environmental exposure

Impulse Control

• Place command for de-escalation

• Threshold control (doors, cars, gates)

• Structured crate protocol (if appropriate)

• Calm greeting routines

Management Plan

• Clear daily structure

• Trigger avoidance strategy during early phases

• Household rule adjustments

• Environmental setup recommendations

Weeks 1–2 — Stabilize & Reduce Chaos
Management plan installed. Immediate friction points addressed.

Weeks 3–4 — Controlled Exposure
Gradual, structured exposure to triggers at safe distances.

Weeks 5–6 — Recovery & Regulation
Increase difficulty while improving emotional recovery.

Weeks 7–8 (Optional Extension)
Real-world proofing and long-term maintenance strategy.

• In-depth behavior assessment

• Weekly private sessions

• Written management plan

• Structured daily assignment plan (10–20 min/day)

• Text support between sessions

• Long-term maintenance roadmap

Behavior Reset requires:

• Consistency from the handler

• Clear boundaries at home

• No mixed messaging

• Commitment to daily structure

You cannot out-train chaos without changing the environment that feeds it.
