What is a Simple Training Plan (Behavior Modification Plan), and why does my dog need one?
Your veterinarian will instruct you on how to incorporate simple training techniques, referred to as “behavior modification.” The combined use of these techniques with RECONCILE chewable tablets has been proven to work faster and better than training alone for the management of separation anxiety. The simple training plan generally consists of several activities, such as: • Adapting your dog to your coming and going behavior. • Teaching your dog to sit and stay and, over time, to be content in your absence. • Resisting the rewarding of inappropriate attention–seeking behaviors. • Leaving your dog for short periods, and gradually increasing the time that the dog is left alone.
