Many contemporary behaviorists encourage owners to act like pack leaders to gain obedience.
In the Dallas area there are several professional dog behaviorists marketing their services. Many of them take slightly different methodological approaches to modifying your dog's less desirable traits.
Dallas Dog Trainer
Dallas Dog Trainer pursues a philosophy of consistently rewarding the positive behaviors of your dog. In fact, the trainers claim that it is possible to rid your animal of negative traits altogether. There are options for single hour sessions ($100) or lifetime membership programs which allow for unlimited sessions ($450-1000). Prices are current as of September 2010.

Dog Trainer Dallas
Jeff Bornman at Dog Trainer Dallas takes a different approach. Instead of focusing on the traditional training methods of sitting, lying down and fetching, he encourages the owner to behave like the alpha in the pack. By controlling the essential things alphas control like eating and sleeping, Bornman contends that your dog's behavior will improve naturally.
Canines First
Canines First looks at your dog as an individual. This is especially pertinent when discussing issues such as "obsessive disorders, fear and aggression." The people at Canines First also focus on notions of "pack leadership" in how you control your pets behavior.
