Behavior problems are one of the leading reasons dogs are surrendered to shelters. At German Dog Training Center, Thomas Sauerhoefer has helped hundreds of dog owners in Northern California resolve serious behavioral issues and keep their dogs in loving homes.
Thomas uses a structured, root-cause approach to behavior correction. Rather than simply suppressing symptoms, he identifies the underlying cause of the behavior — whether it is fear, lack of structure, improper socialization, or learned habits — and addresses it directly.
Every behavior correction program includes owner education. You will learn how to read your dog's body language, respond correctly to problem behaviors, and maintain the improvements long after training ends.
