Dog Training Help for
Behavior Problems

These articles focus on common behavior issues I see with dogs every day — especially dogs that struggle to relax, settle, or feel calm in the home. Each post breaks down what’s actually driving the behavior, why quick fixes often don’t work, and how clarity, structure, and consistency help dogs make better decisions. If your dog feels constantly “on,” overwhelmed, or hard to live with indoors, you’re in the right place.
A breakdown of why many dogs struggle to settle indoors and how structure, clarity, and calm human behavior shape relaxation at home.
