Since the year 2000, as more research funding has become available much progress has been made in the science of canine behavior. Unfortunately, much of the mass media is flooded with outdated, often harmful, information.

Melissa is formally trained and experienced in solving canine behavior problems using scientifically sound behavior modification techniques. These techniques use classical and operant conditioning to change the fundamental emotional state of your dog thereby eliminating unpleasant symptoms exhibited by your dog in the process.

Addressing symptoms but not addressing the underlying emotional state of the dog does not solve problems in the long term. It simply moves the symptoms around as the dog finds new ways to exhibit behaviors expressing the underlying problem causing the undesirable behavior.

In America, many dogs are euthanized due to behavior problems. People that bring a dog into their home want a companion that will bring happiness into their lives and vice versa. We at Sindar Kennel want to contribute to people and dog happiness. To that end, we offer professional behavior consulting. Please contact us for an initial consultation.
