Misha and I LOVE Yasmin!! She really changed our relationship. Misha is a rescue that was always a little nervous and territorial with me and our home but whose behavior worsened significantly when my older dog passed away a few months ago…

Yasmin went above and beyond to train our dog after I injured my knee and had to have knee reconstruction surgery. She worked specifically to meet our needs and ensure our Rosie could walk safely on a leash, have appropriate manners, and that she was happy and successful…

I hired Yasmin to help with my puppy and I couldn’t be happier with the results. From the first session she was professional, calm, and really good at reading both the dog and the owner. She explained everything in a way that actually made sense and gave me simple, consistent steps to follow at home…

I cannot recommend this Yasmin as a dog trainer enough! When I reached out to her, I was honestly at the point where I thought I might have to give up on Yowac because I was struggling so much with getting her to get along with Willy. I felt like I had tried everything and wasn't sure there was going to be a solution…

Had a wonderful experience working with Yasmin. She was great at communicating, arriving on time at my home, and focusing on my fut baby. Sh we was doing more than just training the basics but incorporating training to fit my lifestyle and the commands I would need…

I adopted a rescue from the humane society and quickly realized he was unlike any dog I’d owned before. Despite having plenty of experience with dogs, this little guy was exceptionally stubborn and mischievous, and I knew I needed professional guidance…

I took my 1 1/2 year old black Lab Charlie to Yasmin for her 3 week board and train program. Before I took him for training Charlie was a wild child. He is very friendly but can be very unruly as well…

When I adopted my puppy from the shelter, she was extremely reactive toward both people and other animals. I reached a point where I genuinely felt hopeless and feared her aggression would eventually lead to an unfortunate outcome. Hiring Yasmin was one of the best decisions I could have made…

My 2 year old foster pup needed to learn some household manners, to come when called, and to walk nicely even when temptation came calling in the form of deer or other walked dogs. Yasmin came each week and we worked on all these things successfully…

Amazing!! I feel way more confident with my dog and he is doing better as well. Yasmin’s style of training is totally worth it; and I am excited to keep going to classes to strength the relationship with my dog.

I can't recommend Yasmin at Team Dog with Yasmin enough! My pup Bella just completed the 3-week board and train program, and the change is incredible. Before training, Bella would pull like crazy and bolt, leaving me chasing her…

Our family would 1000 % recommend Yasmin for your wild pup training needs. We sent our 10month old Malinois to the 2 week board and train and our girl learned so much. Our home is much more calm now that she follows instructions. We had a lot of issues with our dog and our 6 year old…

We highly recommend working with Yasmin! Rosie our 2 yr old rottweiler, completed 6 weeks of in home training and is much more well-mannered than before. We've gotten so many compliments on her behavior…

Before we met Yasmin, our golden retriever, Buddy, was stressing us out. He didn't know how to listen and we didn't know how to teach him to listen! We decided to leave Buddy with Yasmin for 2 weeks with the hope that he would learn at least the bare minimum! That's how much we were at our wits ends…

We had an amazing experience with Yasmin from Team Dog with Yasmin, LLC! She trained our Lhasa Apso, Milo, who was extremely stubborn before his training. He used to bite our walls, potty in the house, bark constantly when we were trying to sleep, and even nibble on people…

We're so glad we found Team Dog with Yasmin! Our Piper “Chaos” came to us as a rescue after being born stray and raised in a shelter setting. Unfortunately, her early life left her as an anxious, under socialized dog who was terrified of the outside world…

I remember my partner and I feeling completely hopeless when it came to our dog Finnick. His behavior was completely unacceptable, he didn't listen, he didn't have any boundaries and always pushed whatever boundaries we set into place…

I have a Pitbull mix that I rescued in May of 2022. He was about a year and a half when I got him and had no formal training. He was never aggressive but had some reactivity, especially when other dogs would pass by on walks. I had done some basic training before but was looking to further training for myself and my dog…

If you are in need of a dog trainer, look no further. My wife and I were in desperate need of help. Our 4 year old is perfect but horrible with recall and our 2 year old boy was not very good in public with people or other dogs. Our boy would get too excited where he would bark, jump, and lunge in public…

Yasmin was absolutely incredible! She took our 1.5 year old Bailey (half Belgium Malinois half German Shepherd) who was very reactive, jumping on everyone, no leash manners, thinks the world revolves around her and turned her into a well mannered dog…

We started working with Yasmin when our puppy was around 12 weeks old. We have a high energy, German Shepherd, Malinois mix and we really needed someone to help us set the foundation for our training. We wanted lessons not just for our dog, but for us as owners as well…

I sought out Yasmin in search of a dog trainer to help my Mom with her very hyper 8-month old puppy. Mom had tried a couple of training programs and was still facing significant challenges…

Yasmin Bowersox is incredible. Extremely competent and knowledgeable. She understands every dog is different and finds the right formula for success. I have two Rhodesian Ridgeback Puppies (littermates), and everyone told me I was crazy. Yasmin took them for a three week board and train starting at 5 months old…

Behavior Modification
Behavior Modification for Reactive and Aggressive Dogs
We help dogs that:
Lunge or bark at other dogs on leash
React aggressively toward people or strangers
Can’t stay calm in public
Pull hard and escalate quickly on walks
React unpredictably around triggers
Make normal outings stressful or impossible
This isn’t basic obedience training. This is behavior modification for real-world problems. We work on changing how your dog responds, not just how they “listen.”
Why This Happens
(And Why It Doesn’t Just Go Away)
Reactive and aggressive behavior usually comes from:
Fear
Frustration
Over-arousal
Repeated Exposure To Triggers
Lack Of Structure And Clear Guidance
It doesn’t improve just by hoping it will. And it usually gets worse without a clear plan. That’s why many owners end up avoiding walks, people, or places altogether. Not because they want to… but because it feels easier than dealing with the reaction.
What Behavior Modification Actually Changes
We focus on helping your dog:
Stay calmer around triggers
Stop escalating as quickly
Focus on you after seeing dogs or people
Walk without constant reactivity
Build control in real-world environments
Respond instead of react
The goal is simple: A dog you can actually manage in everyday life.
Imagine
Imagine What Life Could Look Like
Walks Without Bracing For Problems

No more dragging your dog past others in the waiting area.
No more sneaking in through the side door to avoid other dogs.
Your dog politely sitting in the waiting area
Finally Doing More Together With Your Dog
No more standing on the sidelines during friend gatherings with dogs.
No more being the castaway on family gatherings because of your dog.
Your dog can be around other people without stress.
The freedom of not having to plan your life around your dog’s behavior.
