Training Philosophy
Do you need help getting your puppy to stop barking and lunging on walks? Does your puppy bark incessantly at people passing by your Austin home? At Beyond the Dog, we specialize in treating all forms of puppy reactivity and aggression. We can help you spot the telltale signs of reactivity while your puppy is still young to prevent the problem from growing into a more severe behavior in the future. Using a proprietary combination of classical and operant conditioning, our puppy training programs use the latest scientific research in dog behavior modification to treat puppy barking and aggression. Led by one of the few Certified Applied Animal Behaviorists in the country, Dr. Echterling-Savage, our team is dedicated to improving you and your puppy’s quality of life in Austin.
Are you confused as to why your puppy won’t stop barking? After treating thousands of reactive puppies across four major markets, we have created a data-driven tool called the Indirect Assessment of Canine Behavior to help us identify your puppy’s triggers and develop a step-by-step treatment plan to transform your puppy’s aggressive behavior. Our Austin trainers will work with your puppy to treat their barking or aggression wherever it is occurring. Puppy barking can make apartment life and walks especially difficult but we’re here to help stop that puppy barking once and for all! We will address your puppy’s reactivity so you and your puppy can get back to making fun and stress-free memories in Austin!
