If your dog's barking, lunging, or ignoring commands has taken over your home, you're not alone.
At Big N' Small Paws 317, we help Indianapolis families bring structure and calm back into daily life through customized dog behavior modification that delivers lasting change.

Every behavior tells a story — fear, stress, confusion, or lack of structure.
Our certified trainers don't just correct the symptoms — we uncover why the behavior happens.

Common behaviors we address include:

• Reactivity toward people or other dogs
  
• Excessive barking or whining
• Leash pulling and lunging
• Resource guarding or fear aggression
• Ignoring recall or commands

By focusing on communication and confidence, we teach dogs how to make better decisions — calmly and reliably.

Our Indianapolis behavior modification programs combine structure, repetition, and trust-based methods.
Each session helps your dog develop focus and respect while strengthening your leadership. We work in real-world environments, neighborhoods, trails, and parks to ensure your dog's progress translates beyond the training floor.

Programs Include:

🐾 In-Home Behavior Training – Focused sessions where issues happen most — your home.

🏠 Board & Train Indianapolis – Immersive programs (21–45 days) that rebuild obedience and stability.

🚶 Reactive Dog Bootcamp – Targeted, real-world sessions designed to stop lunging and barking.

We don't use fear, force, or gimmicks.
Our trainers rely on structure, repetition, and calm confidence that dogs understand.

What sets us apart:

✅ Local trainers who understand Central Indiana dogs and environments

✅ Balanced, reward-based methods that build trust

✅ Continued support and communication after every session

✅ Proven results across Indianapolis, Carmel, Westfield, Noblesville, and Fishers

"Our dog went from reactive and anxious to calm and confident. Big N' Small Paws 317 changed our lives." — Local Client Review

Once your dog learns focus and calm at home, we reinforce it in public spaces like White River State Park, Garfield Park, and Broad Ripple.
This teaches dogs how to stay balanced under real-life distractions. For families ready to go further, our Off-Leash Dog Training Carmel and Reactive Dog Training Westfield programs expand control in every environment.

If you're tired of daily frustration or unpredictable behavior, real change starts with one step — a structured evaluation.
