About Chris and her Integrative Dog Training System

Chris Redenbach CDBC, CBCC-KA loves her career as a full-time certified dog behavior coach and trainer because it satisfies her desire to increase her knowledge in the many areas of expertise required by this work. She recently went back to college to study neuroscience to add to her knowledge of ethology, behaviorism and people skills.

She has innovated a method she calls Integrative Dog Training System which brings about remarkable changes in behavior by incorporating natural dog behaviors, structured games and body work along with state of the art technologies of applied animal behavior analysis relying primarily on reward based techniques. On top of this scientific perspective, she adds compassion, humor and a supportive attitude to make changes as smooth as possible.

This integration of various modalities of behavior change results in a well balanced relationship between an owner who enjoys spending time with their dog and a dog who is well adjusted, responsive and happy.

Chris believes that you must teach a dog what you want it to do, make it feel clear and safe about doing what you want, and that makes stopping its bad habits so much easier. When a dog is doing something “wrong”, it is doing the best thing it could think of at the time and, while you may feel better trying to correct its behavior, real change only comes when you can truly teach the dog alternative behaviors.

Join Chris in the project of training your dog and resolving its behavior problems. Most behavior problems are relatively easy to sort out and fix. For very serious, complex behavior problems, you may need a very multi-faceted approach that may include the participation of your veterinarian.
