Dog Training Behavioral School

Dog Behavioral Training School is run by canine behaviorist David Scott, who works on aggression, fear, anxiety, separation issues, chewing, excessive barking, jumping and biting. Training uses calm, firm and assertive methods without treats or shock collars, and the approach is built around teaching owners to communicate with their dogs.

Sessions are in-home and private, with training done at the house and in public places such as dog parks or pet stores when socialization is the goal. Fees run from about $400 for a rules, boundaries and limitations package up to $1,500 for larger rehabilitation work. The business serves the Inland Empire, Riverside County and the Big Bear area, and is based in Yucaipa.
