Territorial Behavior
Allowing your dog to peer out the window at passers-by can develop into a more dangerous behavior called territorial aggression.
Your dog will start to think that it's his barking that's keeping the passing people and dogs away and, over time, this can potentially put your guests at risk.
Basic Obedience Protocols
Is your pup rude and pushy? Does she jump when greeting people? Does she counter-surf?
Well, apologize no more. WoofGang can help you teach your dog to be polite, attentive and well-mannered, while developing and
deepening your relationship.
Training Sessions
Training sessions are best in small increments. Work for 10 minutes, then take a break. It's better to do several short sessions than one long one. Leave your pup wanting more!
