BEHAVIOUR MODIFICATON THERAPY
Dog Behaviour Modification in Surrey | The PupHaus
For owners who want to lead the change but need an expert to cut through the noise and show them exactly what to do. While basic obedience teaches commands like sit and stay, professional dog behaviour modification transforms how your dog actually perceives and reacts to the world around them. Led by certified behaviour specialist Mimi Jacobson, The PupHaus offers dedicated, trauma-informed therapy for rescue dogs suffering from abuse or abandonment, severe fear, anxiety, and aggression or just behavioural issues. We dive deep to identify your dog's specific emotional triggers, replacing chaotic, reactive instincts with calm, focused habits. Let a professional with 21 years of experience restore peace to your home—reach out today to take the first step.

Our Philosophy on
Behaviour Modification Therapy
Training humans & Transforming Dogs
​Train the Human. Transform the Dog. Whether your dog spends the day with us at doggy daycare, or you are striving for change with the training Academy, we uphold the same fundamental principles: if we exhibit calm, assertive leadership and consistency, it will foster a fulfilling and satisfying life for you and your dog.
​​My Specialized Credentials
Unlike the unregulated dog training industry, I don't hide behind confusing acronyms. My expertise is backed by formal, intensive certifications in the three most critical pillars of canine development:
-
Certification in Dog Obedience: Building rock-solid focus, reliable manners, and clear communication between you and your dog using operant conditioning combined with R+ force free kind training and body language.
-
Certification in Behaviour Modification: Successfully rewriting deep behavioral patterns like fear, reactivity, resource guarding, and over-arousal by studying a pack of dogs for over 21 years.
-
Certification in Canine Trauma: A highly specialized framework for rehabilitating rescue dogs, abused dogs, or dogs suffering from severe anxiety and phonophobia (fear of loud noises).
Calm Dogs, Confident Owners, Balanced Lives.
Our Puppy rescue for the shattered soul companion program. This private session guides your puppy, aged 2 to 5 months, through essential trust and rehabilitation.
We tackle the domestication of a feral puppy who just can't seem to fit in, and we transform distracted fear induced behaviours into a focused puppy who chooses eye contact over street life, for a stress-free bond. ​​
Set your growing pup up for household success. This private session replaces chaotic jumping, gate-charging, and counter-surfing with polite manners. We use fun, upbeat games to teach your puppy or adolescent dog clear boundaries and impulse control, giving your busy family a peaceful, well-mannered companion at home. 2 Hour Session in your home.​
The Elite Reactivity Reset. Our 12-Session Day Training Program is the perfect solution. Leveraging 21 years of handling a pack of 25 dogs solo in a pack dog daycare, and 15 years of professional training experience right here in Surrey, I handle the intensive, daily behavior modification for you while your dog spends the day at our home-based facility. Your dog gets expert, one-on-one counter-conditioning and desensitization sessions throughout the day in a safe, controlled environment. You simply drop them off twice a week on your morning commute and pick up a happier, more focused companion at the end of the day. (12 day sessions + )​​
5 Days to a Mannerly, Potty-Trained Pup
Skip the puppy exhaustion. Let a 21-year pro handle the hardest week. Bringing home a young puppy is exciting, but constant potty accidents, crate crying, and relentless nipping can quickly become overwhelming—especially if you have to work.
Our Puppy Head-Start Week is an intensive, 5-day daytime program designed to build an immediate foundation for puppies aged 8 to 16 weeks. Drop your puppy off on your morning commute, and let us handle the exhausting hourly work of early development. ​​
