Brand overview
Instinct Dog Behavior & Training is a locally owned and operated franchise built on a philosophy called Nature-Driven Nurture. This approach is rooted in behavioral health science and helps dog owners create lasting change by working with their dog's unique personality, instincts, and innate drives rather than against them. The brand welcomes dogs of all breeds, ages, and behavior challenges, and is affiliated with respected industry organizations including IAABC, APDT, Karen Pryor Academy, CCPDT, and Fear Free Certified. Franchise owners run service-based businesses offering private coaching, board and train camp programs, and AI-supported behavior guidance with human oversight, giving clients flexible options and continuous support.
