Behavior Modifications

Reset. Rebuild. Reconnect.

When a dog struggles with reactivity, fear, anxiety, or aggression, traditional obedience training often falls short. These behaviors aren’t just about what your dog does, they’re about how your dog feels. At Bad Pup Club, we focus on changing behavior by changing your dog’s mindset.

Our training builds emotional stability, not just control. We help dogs feel safe, confident, and capable so they can make better choices and navigate the world without fear or frustration. We don’t rush progress or rely on pressure. We build trust, clarity, and calm first, so real behavior change can follow.

Every dog is different. That’s why we develop individualized plans based on your dog’s needs, thresholds, and history. Through clear communication, real-world exposure, and structured relationship-building, we help shift your dog’s emotional state from reactive or shut down to engaged and resilient.

What sets us apart is our ability to teach both dog and owner how to move forward with confidence. You won’t just manage behavior, you’ll understand your dog on a deeper level and learn how to support lasting change.

If your dog is overwhelmed, reactive, or just stuck in patterns that no longer serve them, we can help.

The Reboot

  • For owners ready to be part of the change.


    This hands-on program is built for dogs struggling with reactivity, anxiety, fear, aggression, or overstimulation and for the owners who want to actively help them work through it.

    Our 10-Week Behavior Reboot focuses on shifting your dog’s mindset by improving their emotional stability, not just controlling their actions. Each session is customized to your dog’s individual needs, and every step of the program is designed to help you understand how to support lasting behavior change at home and in the real world.

    We’ll teach you how to recognize thresholds, create structure, build confidence, and guide your dog through the difficult moments with calm leadership and clarity. Alongside behavior-specific drills, we incorporate obedience, impulse control, and confidence-building exercises so your dog can stay focused and grounded under pressure.

    This is more than weekly training, it’s a full coaching experience. You’ll be supported with weekly homework, clear step-by-step guidance, and lifetime access to our client group for continued accountability and growth.

    If you’re ready to put in the work and want a deeper understanding of your dog’s behavior, the Behavior Reboot gives you the tools to change your dog’s mindset, rebuild your relationship, and create lasting progress that sticks.

  • Our Behavior Reboot program is structured over 10 private lessons, typically scheduled once per week. This timeframe allows for steady, meaningful progress while giving both you and your dog the space to practice and grow between sessions.

    Behavior change doesn’t happen overnight, especially with complex issues like reactivity, anxiety, or aggression. This 10-week format is designed to create a clear foundation, teach practical handling skills, and give you the tools to confidently support your dog beyond the program. Depending on your dog’s needs, we can adjust the pace or add follow-up sessions for continued support.

  • Every dog is different, which is why each session in the Behavior Reboot program is tailored to your dog’s individual needs and emotional state. Our goal is to create long-term change by improving mindset, building trust, and teaching both the dog and owner how to navigate challenging situations with confidence.

    Here’s what we typically focus on:

    Behavioral Challenges
    • Reactivity to dogs, people, or other triggers

The Reset

  • A complete reset for dogs struggling with fear, reactivity, or aggression.


    This program is designed for dogs with serious behavioral challenges whether it’s reactivity, anxiety, aggression, or a bite history. The Behavioral Reset goes beyond obedience by addressing your dog’s emotional state and helping them build trust, clarity, and confidence in a structured environment.

    Every dog receives a fully personalized training plan based on their specific triggers, sensitivities, and behavioral patterns. The first week is dedicated to decompression, allowing your dog to settle in before formal training begins. From there, we work at your dog’s pace using relationship-based methods that create safety, stability, and engagement.

    We focus on improving impulse control, building resilience, and helping your dog learn how to handle stress in a healthier way. Through real-world exposure, socialization, and thoughtful communication, we guide your dog toward calm, confident behavior they can carry back home.

    By the end of the program, you’ll be equipped with the skills, tools, and support to maintain and build on your dog’s progress so the transformation lasts long after training ends.

  • The Behavioral Reset is a 6-week Board and Train program designed to create real, lasting change. The first week is dedicated to decompression, giving your dog time to settle in and feel safe before formal training begins. The following five weeks focus on building emotional stability, improving behavior, and creating a strong foundation for life at home.

    This timeline allows us to work through each phase of your dog’s progress without rushing, ensuring your dog not only learns new behaviors, but feels confident and calm enough to apply them in real-world situations.

  • The Behavioral Reset is fully customized to your dog’s behavioral needs, history, and progress. While every dog’s plan is unique, here are the core areas we typically focus on:

    Foundational Obedience
    • Sit, Down, Place, Stay, Heel, and Recall
    • Structured leash work and calm behavior in and out of the home

    Advanced Manners
    • Greeting people politely without jumping or barking
    • Door and threshold manners to prevent rushing or guarding
    • Calm behavior around food, crates, and daily routines

    Behavioral Work
    • Reactivity and aggression toward dogs, people, or specific triggers
    • Impulse control and emotional regulation
    • Safe, confidence-building exposure to stressors and novel environments

    Focus Around Distractions

    • Practicing calm responses instead of overarousal or outbursts
    • Public outings to build real-world reliability

    Grooming & Handling Confidence
    • Desensitization to nail dremels, baths, brushing, and vet-style handling
    • Building tolerance and trust for cooperative care

    Our goal is not just to teach new behaviors, but to change how your dog feels, thinks, and responds under pressure. We build calm, confident, and clear-headed dogs who are easier to live with and ready to take on the world.
