What is worked on

The home page breaks the offer into named problems. Aggression training addresses dogs "showing signs of aggression towards other dogs or people" and is described as targeting "the root cause of aggression". Separation anxiety training is for the dog that "exhibit[s] destructive behavior when left alone", with the goal of teaching it "to feel comfortable and secure when you're away". Leash training is aimed at the dog "pulling on the leash during walks". There is also trick training, running "From basic dog behavior programs like sit and stay to more advanced tricks such as rolling over and playing dead", potty training, and service dog training for owners who need a dog taught "to perform specific tasks and behaviors".
