Mad Dog Manor Canine Behavior Consultations Need a professional behaviorist to help you identify and remediate a problem with your dog? Dr. Val at Mad Dog Manor Canine can help! In Animal Behavior

Certified Dog Behavior Consultant , IAABC

Ph.D. IDENTIFYING THE FUNCTION OF BEHAVIOR

It is critical to observe, carefully interview the family members, and analyze the problem behavior in order to understand the function of that behavior. No behavior occurs "just because". In order to successfully reduce or eliminate the problem behavior, we must d

etermine what is reinforcing that behavior. For example, why do dogs bark at the mailman? No, it is not to irritate you. Your dog wants the mailman to go away....and the barking works (or so your dog thinks!). The mailman does, indeed, go away. But, picking up a toy, rather than barking, results in the mailman going away, too! INTERVENTIONS

Once the function and reinforcer for the behavior is found, Dr. Val will work with you to develop an intervention plan. The plan will not only work toward reducing or eliminating the problem behavior, but will provide the dog with a new, appropriate behavior. When we remove a behavior (for example, barking at the door), it is important to give the dog another desirable behavior in its place (going to the mat, grabbing a toy) that allows the dog to earn positive attention.

Anyone in the Bloomington/Normal to Peoria area have a shy dog? A dog who believes a good offense makes a good defense- so s/he barks and lunges? Have a dog that plays well with people, but not other dogs? How about a dog that plays well with other dogs but not with people? Well, Mad Dog Manor in conjunction with Kudos for Canines in Blo/No and Prairie Animal Hospital in Peoria have something JUST for that dog!
Reactive Dog classes for those shy, barking, lunging and tough-to-get-along-with-others dogs will be starting the week of January 8th. These classes are limited to 4 dogs per class. We assess the behavior your dog is displaying, determine what your dog is trying to communicate, and help your dog find more socially appropriate ways of saying "yes" or "no thank you" to social interactions. These classes are semi-private and are designed to give both YOU the human skills to listen and act to help your dog as well as helping the dog develop improved social skills.
Classes will be on
Monday at 6:45 and Wednesday at 5:30 at Prairie Animal Hospital https://form.jotform.com/230374989856172
and
Thursday at 4:30 at Kudos for Canines in Bloomington. https://kudosforcanines.com/classes/
