BEHAVIOUR MODIFICATON THERAPY
Our training and behaviour programs at PackLeader Academy are tailored to your dog's age and temperament — no cookie-cutter approaches. Our Specialized Puppy programs in smaller more intimate sessions sets us apart. Mimi is a seasoned and certified dog trainer and dog behaviourist, getting her certification from Master Trainer Tony Parker and Dr Karolina Westlund, Ph.D, a professor of ethology at the University of Stockholm, Sweden. She spent over 2 decades operating her dog daycare solo, with up to 25 dogs daily, and most of them started their daycare as puppies, so he knows her stuff.
P.S.
For an interesting Podcast (@hubermanlab) by Andrew Huberman, Ph.D., a neuroscientist and tenured professor in the department of neurobiology of ophthalmology, and also of psychiatry and behavioural sciences at Stanford School of Medicine, gives us an intensive interview with my professor, Karolina Westlund, Ph.D on Animal Behaviour sciences (www.illis.se), where they discuss dogs quite extensively. This is a very interesting and enlightening interview, well worth the watch for any dog lover. Here is the link;

Behaviour Modification Therapy
Training humans & Transforming Dogs
While obedience training teaches commands (e.g., sit, stay, or come), behaviour modification transforms how your dog perceives and reacts to their environment. My specialty is 'Animal Emotions' and I look at their core emotions to assess why they are either fearful, shy, averting contact or gaze, or reactive. Understanding the trigger and what kind of therapy is needed, is what a dog behaviourist does.
We deal with rescues from abuse or abandonment, fear/aggression issues and dominant bullying behaviour in dogs under 1.5 years old. If none of the issues mentioned are addressed and treated, aggression is bound to show it's ugly teeth before the dog turns 2 years old. At that time, the challenge is extensive and the cost to treat it can be very high.
I am not certified for red line dogs (has tasted blood), as that is advanced behaviour therapy, and I didn't have the time to study that, and since I don't work with them, I can say I don't have the experience to. I strive to keep dogs from going there, And the only one that can help with that is you, the dog owner. Without your support and work, the dog won't have any chance at recovery. We need to get it right before the dog turns 1.5 years old.

We tackles the domestication of a feral puppy who just can't seem to fit in, and we transform distracted fear induced behaviours into a focused puppy who chooses eye contact over street life, for a stress-free bond.
