ACHIEVING TRANQUILITY PROGRAM

A Whole Dog Approach to Behavior Modification

Movement shapes behavior — we transform both.

We go beyond obedience cues to address the root of your dog’s behavior. That means developing a calmer nervous system, assessing the environment and potential triggers, and building confidence through proprioception and controlled movement. Better leash behavior starts with better movement.

We take a personalized, fitness‑integrated approach designed specifically for reactive, anxious, and high‑energy dogs. By improving posture, gait, and whole‑body coordination, we help your dog move with more confidence — and behave with more clarity. You get a calmer, more connected companion, whether you’re working on leash manners, reactivity, or everyday emotional balance.

Common behaviors we help with include:
•    Barking, growling, or lunging at dogs or people
•    Guarding food, toys, or family members
•    Fear, anxiety, or over‑arousal triggered by sights, sounds, or environments

If your dog is struggling with any of these challenges, you’re in the right place.

The Venture Functional Movement Method

- Movement‑Integrated Behavior Centered: Behavior techniques and skills are taught through functional movement.

- Emotional Regulation Through Static and Dynamic Movements: Dogs learn how to settle, self‑regulate, and navigate Austin’s stimulating environments.

- Individualized, Science‑Driven Coaching:
You and your dog receive a tailored plan based on biomechanics, temperament, and lifestyle.

We will work on the following:

Building an Action Plan of what we’d like to see starting today
Helping you understand the root cause of your dog’s behavior to prevent and change it
Building a foundation for appropriate behaviors moving forward
Establishing an ongoing support plan where you and your dog can live a drama-free life.

Through this program, we'll work to have you experience peace of mind knowing that your dog is safe and responsive to you, your dog can freely express themselves without violence or threats, and we'll encourage building on new activities in which you and your dog can enjoy.

Steven is incredible! He worked wonders with our Doberman, Tyson, helping him overcome his reactivity toward both people and other dogs. Under Steven’s expert guidance, Tyson has made tremendous progress. His compassionate, fear-free training techniques truly made a difference! Tyson is now much more relaxed, confident, and willing to trust. We are so grateful for Steven’s support and highly recommend him to anyone looking for a skilled and caring trainer!

*Game Changing Dog Training* Steven Tallas, owner Venture Dog Training, worked miracles for me by teaching me the best training techniques for my dogs Millie and Gus to gain the confidence, trust and skills to live happier and calmer pooch lives. ..Working with Steven has given me the training tools, knowledge and resources (consulting with a Behaviorist Veterinarian) to make leash walking possible and home life calmer. Now 2, Gus doesn't fight being on leash and doesn't get as so excited seeing people or dogs. He fully trusts me. Committing to training initially was hard for me because thought I knew what I was doing after raising dogs for years. Finally got that I needed new training skills specifically for Millie's and Gus' unique reactivite behaviors. Uncertain about theuseful of training for your dog or dogs, reach out to Steven Tallas, Venture Dog Training and learn why his training is a game changer."
