Our Mission
Healthy Atmosphere for a Life-Long Partnership
Our mission is to provide advanced educational experiences for canine professionals and others interested in understanding canines from an in depth perspective of behavior modification, language, learning capabilities and relationship building. We provide a university level of study and learning experience, through the study of how both human and canine brains learn and process with a hands on understanding of the steps for behavior modification.

Educating Human Pack Leaders
Our focus is to teach Relationship Based Behavior Modification (RBBM ©) to all students at our Institute. RBBM was developed by Nelson Hodges over years of work in the rehabilitation of severe case dog behaviors from aggressive to fearful and shutdown dogs. RBBM was developed with the understanding of both real human and canine psychology of how the brain learns, patterning modifications (neuroplasticity), and proofing of behaviors (not situational actions). CHRI courses and workshops are intentionally designed to provide a multimodal format of classroom learning with hands-on application. All courses include a supportive, guided self-discovery process in order to cultivate genuine growth in the human/canine relationship. Students may attend one class or choose a course of study which guarantees a customized, unique and invaluable educational experience! In progression these classes build cumulative expertise, diving deeper into each aspect of the relationship, while offering humans the skills to integrate the CHRI philosophy into your everyday interactions with the humans and canines in your life.
