Your Dog Isn't Broken. They Need the Right Help.
Reactivity and behavior issues aren't character flaws — they're communication problems. When a dog lunges, barks, snaps, or shuts down, they're telling you something. Our job is to help you understand what, and to give your dog better tools to cope.
We've worked with hundreds of dogs that families were told were "too far gone" or "untrainable." With the right approach, the right timing, and genuine commitment from the family, most of these dogs make remarkable progress. A bite history does not automatically mean your dog is beyond help—we evaluate each dog and their individual circumstances to determine the right path forward.
Behaviors We Specialize In
Leash Reactivity
Lunging, barking, and fixating on other dogs, people, bikes, or cars during walks.
Dog-to-Dog Aggression
Conflict with other dogs in the home, on leash, or in social settings.
Fear & Anxiety
Generalized anxiety, noise phobias, separation distress, and fear-based behaviors.
Resource Guarding
Food, toys, space, or people — we address guarding behaviors safely and systematically.
Human-Directed Aggression
Growling, snapping, or biting toward family members or strangers — handled with expert care.
Impulse Control Issues
Jumping, mouthing, counter-surfing, door-bolting, and other high-arousal behaviors.
Structured Add-Ons for Complex Cases
Our Mt. Elbert add-ons are designed for dogs who need additional support beyond their core obedience training. All behaviour modification work begins with an obedience foundation, giving you and your dog the skills needed to build from there.
Mt. Elbert — Behavior Modification Add-On
Focused support for reactivity, aggression, anxiety, and other challenging behaviours. This add-on builds on your obedience training with a customised behaviour modification plan designed around your dog's specific needs.
Start With the Foundation
Obedience training—or a Service Dog programme that includes obedience—is required before adding specialised training. From there, you can add the Mt. Elbert programme or other specialty "Peaks" as your dog's needs and goals evolve.
