We are here to tell you that owning your dog can always be fun, and those problematic behaviors in your dog can be modified.

Utilizing our proven techniques of positive reinforcement training, you will be delighted to see how easy it can be for you and your dog to see things the same way again.

Vincent DeMaio Dog Training offers Dog Behavior Modification programs for owners with dogs that exhibit challenging behaviors. We work with dogs of all ages and breeds with various problems such as aggression, fighting, biting, resource guarding, phobias, shyness, fears, anxiety, and neurotic behaviors. With the knowledge obtained through years of working with problem dogs, we are confident that we can find the solution you are looking for. We utilize proven scientific techniques, applied behavior analysis, and sound operant conditioning principles to ensure that behavior problems are resolved safely and efficiently.

An initial evaluation and behavioral analysis interview is needed to properly diagnose your dog's issues and determine the root causes of the problems. Our behavior modification programs are customized to each dog and their owner, as no two dogs are alike, and each issue may stem from a different source. Understanding the behavior and cause is the first step to successful rehabilitation. A plan of action is then set in place to ensure the success of our program and the rehabilitation of the dog.

If you are experiencing behavior problems with your dog and have questions or want more information on our dog behavior modification programs, feel free to contact us. Unfortunately, we cannot resolve your problems or diagnose behavior over the phone, but we will schedule a time to evaluate your dog free of charge. Based on this evaluation, we will better suggest a behavior modification program that will get you the best results.
