Welcome to Animal Biz.
Aloha, and welcome to our site. Thank you so much for making the decision to invest in your dog's education.
Animal Biz Behavior and Training is here for you and your dog.
Dog Training and Behavior Modification
We consider it an honor that you are trusting us to help guide you on this journey together. It is such an important decision, a decision to invest the time and effort into helping your pet successfully integrate into your life and home.
As data shows us, more pets are surrendered and euthanized due to behavioral issues than any for any other reason. Yet for many, training is considered a luxury and not a necessity.
Training your dog should be an enjoyable experience for both you and your dog. You CAN have a dog that listens in the house and out in public. Your dog CAN learn to walk on leash without pulling you, and greet people calmly. Through proper training, you CAN achieve a lifelong positive relationship with your dog.
Committed to results based, science based, ethical training. Years of research has proven this to be the most effective and most humane way to train. Whatever your needs, Dawn can design a personalized training program for you. You would expect your vet or doctor to use the latest techniques and research in their field, so you should expect the same from a professional behavior consultant and dog trainer. Dawn continues her education through seminars, webinars, books, and belonging to some of the top organizations in the field of training and behavior.

The American Veterinary Society of Animal Behavior (AVSAB) has issued a position statement that recommends veterinarians refer clients ONLY to trainers and behavior consultants who understand the principles of learning theory and who focus on reinforcing desirable behaviors and removing reinforcement for undesirable behaviors. "Therefore, trainers who routinely use choke collars, pinch collars, shock collars, and other methods of physical punishment as a primary training method should be avoided."
