How We Can Help Your Pet Dog
These evaluations are required for dogs experiencing high levels of fear, anxiety, and stress as well as aggression (dog or human-directed), leash reactivity, resource guarding, and complex behaviors. After the initial evaluation, we’ll schedule follow-up sessions to work on behavior modification.
Awesome for dogs of all ages, these sessions are designed to help you understand the basics of dog learning, our Choice/Response Communication Training methods, and marker training. In addition to the basics, we work on: walking nicely, greeting manners, four on the floor, patiently waiting for their food, and staying in a designated spot during human meal time.
Specially designed for dogs with damaging bite histories and owners who would like to prevent them. Your dog will receive a Complete Behavior Consult followed by private, 1:1 coaching sessions.
Get your puppy on the path to being a well-adjusted, well-behaved adult. Whether you’re new to puppyhood or just trying to keep up with the times, OMG! Puppies is a great way to start off on the right food with your new furry friend.
The most difficult decision you may ever make. With behavioral euthanasia cases, quality of life is critical. During a virtual or in-person assessment, we’ll discuss your dog’s behavior, measure quality of life, discuss alternatives, and the emotions that come with such an agonizing decision.
We get it. Life can be hectic. We will work 1:1 with your dog to develop the skills or behaviors you’d like to see. Once they’ve been established, we’ll transfer the cues to you so you can be consistent at home.
Adding a new furry member to the family is both exciting and nerve wracking. We’re here to support you through the process. We offer prep sessions as well as support sessions while your pup is transitioning into their new home.
Veterinarians & Dog Professionals
When you have limited time for veterinary appointments, it’s challenging to address client questions about patients with behavioral concerns. That’s where we come in. We spend 90 minutes with your client to learn about their concerns and create a plan for training and behavior modification.
Cooperation Canine is partnering with vets in New England and beyond to host pop-up behavior clinics.
Dog pros—is a case keeping you up at night? Let’s collaborate and find the best path forward for you and your client.
Shelters & Rescue Resources
Not sure if a dog in your care is appropriate for adoption? Perhaps they need some specialized training before they’re ready for a forever home. We work with organizations to determine the best path forward for dogs in their care.
Increase a dog’s adoption potential through behavioral modification. Our trainers are able to help rescue organizations at a reduced rate. We also have a 501(c)3 nonprofit, UnShelter Me to provide ongoing support after adoption.
We understand your dog's behavior
It doesn't really matter if you are trying to get your dog to walk nicely on a leash or trying to convince her the delivery man is not going to kill anyone.
What we are incredibly good at is explaining what elements of behavior are in play and how you need to respond to your dog to resolve the issues.
PROFESSIONAL. CERTIFIED. INSPIRED.
