Behavior Help or Dog Training? What’s the difference?
Behavior Counseling
If your dog’s mood generally seems anxious, pessimistic, fearful, or depressed, this is not normal for a well-adjusted dog. You may need behavior counseling.
Training
If your dog’s mood generally seems happy, optimistic, and relaxed (yet there is mischief afoot), this is normal. You may need dog training.

Please use care in selecting a training method and a certified professional to guide you as you raise your puppy or address behavior issues in your dog. Dog training is an unregulated, unlicensed field. Look for verifiable credentials based on current education and high standards that do not rely on tools and practices that may create fearful or repressed behavior in your dog. Ask direct questions about the methods being used by any trainer you contact.
