A practical plan for behavior change

You learn practical steps to make the next occurrence safer and more predictable.

Is This the Right Program for Your Dog?
We work with dogs showing issues such as:
- Dog aggression
- Human aggression
- Leash reactivity
- Lunging and barking
- Resource guarding
- Territorial behavior
- Fence or barrier aggression
- Car reactivity

- Previous bite histories
Every case is different, so we evaluate the dog first and build the training plan from there.
Behavior Modification Program
10 Private Sessions
The program is customized based on the individual dog and severity of the behavior.
Training typically begins with foundational obedience, owner handling, communication, and control. As the dog progresses, we may move into controlled exposure and proofing around the dog’s specific triggers.
Final program length and pricing may vary after the required evaluation.
Our Approach
We don’t start by putting a reactive or aggressive dog directly into its most difficult situation.
First, we establish better communication, obedience, owner handling, and control. For fearful or insecure dogs, confidence-building work may also be incorporated.
As the dog and owner become ready, training can progress around real-world triggers in a controlled way.
The goal is not to make every dog love every person or dog. The goal is better control, safer behavior, and more confidence for the owner.

Serious Aggression & Bite Histories
A bite history does not automatically mean we will refuse the case.
Dogs with serious aggression may require additional safety precautions during the evaluation, such as a securely fitted muzzle or being safely secured in another room until a plan is established.
Tell Empire K9 about any significant bite history before the appointment.

Dog Behavior Modification FAQs
Is an evaluation required?
Yes. All aggression and behavior modification cases require an in-home evaluation before beginning a program.
Can you guarantee my dog’s aggression will disappear?
No. Outcomes vary based on severity, history, your consistency, environment, and your individual dog. The evaluation helps establish realistic goals.
Does the standard program automatically include serious aggression?
No. Serious aggression, significant bite history, severe reactivity, and major resource guarding require an evaluation before a training plan is selected. The appropriate plan depends on your individual dog and the safety considerations involved.
Do you come to homes throughout the Inland Empire?
Yes. Get private in-home training throughout the Inland Empire. We begin where the behavior happens and add public proofing only when your dog is ready.
Which program is the best fit for this service?
The Complete In-Home Training is the usual starting point for this goal, but the right plan depends on your dog's history, temperament, and training needs. Request an evaluation so we can recommend the appropriate next step.
How do I get started?
