The truth is, aggression can't be fully cured; but there are several ways to effectively lessen outbursts. Through behavior modification training, both you and your dog will learn valuable skills to handle triggers and shorten the time it takes to recover.
-
During the Intro to Behavior Modification Session we will prioritize your goals and agree upon an appropriate training plan.
-
Dominance theory was proven to be incorrect and misapplied to dogs. More importantly, using punishment to stifle fearful or aggressive responses is ineffective.
