  3. Flooding Flooding is an unconventional method used for puppy training in NYC, wherein the dog is introduced into an excess of an unfavorable environment. For example, if your dog is uncomfortable in the presence of other dogs, you bring him to a dog park with lots of dogs around. If no bad occurrences take place, your dog might move on from its past trauma. However, more often than not flooding gets too much to take for your furry friend and they end up reacting violently.

  4. Counterconditioning Another approach towards service dog training NYC aims at counterconditioning your dog.
