🐾 Why Obedience Training and Behavior Modification Are Not the Same
Many dog owners are told their dog “just needs obedience,” but that’s not always the full picture.
Obedience training focuses on teaching commands like sit, stay, and heel.
Behavior modification goes deeper by addressing why a dog reacts with fear, aggression, or anxiety in real-world situations.
At Big N’ Small Paws 317, we work with dogs every day that need more than commands. Through structured routines, confidence building, and real-life training scenarios, we help dogs learn how to stay calm, focused, and safe — not just compliant.
Our latest article explains:
✔️ When obedience training is enough
✔️ When behavior modification is necessary
✔️ Why structure matters more than commands alone
✔️ How professional training improves long-term safety and confidence
This education is based on hands-on experience working with reactive, anxious, and high-drive dogs — not theory.
