Does your dog try to run out of the house every time you open the door? You can change all that through Manner’s training!

Behavior Modification
Our Canines companions can experience fear, nervousness, anxiety, frustration, aggression, stress, lack of impulse control, and social skills, just as people do. We are here to help modify their experiences. Does your dog shy away from unknown objects, people, other dogs, or maybe the opposite? Does your dog lunge, bark, or dash back and forth on a lead when they see another dog or person? Are there only certain places or times your dog can’t seem to focus? You may require a behavior modification plan. Your Paws and Me will use the most up-to-date scientific methods in dog training to help modify your dogs’ behavior.
