Behaviors
Any problem. Any age. Any breed.
The behaviors on 3D Dog's list, with what 3D Dog says about each and the assessment questions that ask about it.
Jumping
Excessive jumping is a behavior that plagues many families. It can cause embarrassment and affect your social life. Working with a skilled 3D Dog Beha...
Play biting
Play biting is often attributed to teething. However, most commonly it is due to your dog seeking authority and learning how to control others with th...
Not coming when called
Dogs with poor recall are at greater risk of injury or death. Young dogs can have difficulty coming when called due to adolescence, which brings with ...
Running wildly
Zoomies through the house, laps around the yard and no off switch. The assessment asks when it starts and what ends it.
Aggression
Dog aggression is a complex emotional issue in dogs, but this behavior has firm roots in a dog's sense of security and attachment in caregivers whose ...
Generally distracted
A dog who can't hold focus on you, indoors or out. 3D Dog's leash work starts with mastering the dog's focus.
Destructiveness
Destructiveness is not about teething! Rather, dogs destroy things in order to displace stress. It is a venting of emotional energy through action. Th...
Bathroom training
Accidents in the house, at any age. The assessment asks when and where they happen, and flags a vet check when they are frequent.
Social anxiety
Shyness, hiding or shutting down around people or new places. 3D Dog treats anxiety as a worldview the dog can relearn.
Digging
Holes in the yard and escape tunnels. The assessment asks where and when, which says more than how often.
Counter surfing
Paws on the counter and food gone. Often a question of who controls the space, not only of manners.
Storm phobias
Pacing, panting or hiding when weather rolls in. Counter-conditioning works at the dog's pace.
Motion sickness
Drooling, vomiting or panic in the car. The assessment separates sickness from fear, and a vet rules out the physical side.
Claustrophobia
Panic in crates, small rooms or tight spaces.
Grooming phobia
Fear of brushing, nail trims, baths or the groomer. A specific trigger the dog has not yet learned to tolerate.
Separation anxiety
Distress when left alone: howling, chewing exits, accidents. 3D Dog's anxiety work starts with the dog's sense of security.
Escapism
Running away, jumping the fence, breaking out of the kennel. The assessment asks what the dog is running toward or away from.
Pulling out of collar
Backing out of the collar or harness on walks, usually at the worst moment.
Possessiveness
Guarding food, toys, furniture or a person. The assessment scores each one separately.
Anxiety
It could be argued that every behavior challenge is an expression of anxiety, whether that anxiety be founded in lack of understanding, or due to some...
