Help for Problem Behavior
Often, people hope
that their dog will outgrow problem behaviors, but, this is not the case. When your dog is having a problem, it isn't
going to go away by ignoring it. Dogs that continue to practice inappropriate behaviors just get better at it.
So, don't wait to address behavior issues, especially if there is aggression involved. Many behavioral problems can be resolved with contemporary methods that include behavior
modification, reward-based training, exercise, and appropriate management. Tara uses behavioral solutions for your dog that
are recommended by the most highly regarded canine behaviorists in the country, including the American Veterinary Society of Animal Behavior. Understanding canine behavior and how to effectively
communicate with your dog, often improves behavioral problems and your relationship with your dog. Tara is recommended by veterinarians
in the Charlottesville area. For information about private in-home consultations and training

Please note: If your dog has aggressive
behavior I require a referal from your veterinarian.
It is very
important to rule out a medical component when dealing with aggressive behavior with dogs. If
your dog is sick, it can affect his behavior. Sometimes we don't even know that the dog
is sick unless they have a complete medical workup. So, please, if you notice a behavioral
change in your dog, or if your dog develops aggressive behavior, it's very important for you
to take your dog to your veterinarian and rule out a medical issue before you contact a trainer. This website is an
excellent resource Agression: When Should I Worry
I take
aggressive behavior cases on
a limited basis.
Please contact me by phone
and let me know in detail about your dog's aggression issue.
This way, I will be
able to determine if I will be able to help
you.
I will take dog-dog aggression,
and people aggression depending on the situation.
I do not,
however, work with dangerous dogs, or cases
that have legal ramifications.
