**Obedience training can give you the control needed to prevent a number of potential life threatening situations. It can also serve to strengthen the bond between you and your dog. When your dog is learning the meaning of our english language, he's gaining confidence by being able to finally communicate with you and understand what you are asking. Behavior modification refers to changing the problem behavior through changing a dog's attitude. Significantly, behavior modification programs address the underlying reasons for the problem behaviors. Training (as in obedience training) teaches a specific behavior action (such as learning to sit). While some behavior modification uses obedience postures (as in sitting or lying down), as part of a behavior changing program, these postures act as tool in an overall program that hopes to change how the dog thinks, feels and behaves. Lying down and staying may encourage deference or relaxation for example In combination with other methods.
***What is Behavior Modification Behavior modification is a term much referred to in training circles, but seldom explained in any satisfying detail. After all, isn't obedience training a way to change a dog' behavior?
Dogs with aggressive problems or who are stressed or anxious are not looking at the world the way a normal dog. They are unable to differentiate between what they perceive as a threat and a real threat, or able to react appropriately.
