Aggressive Dogs Welcome
Private socialization, obedience & training for aggressive, shy, or wild dogs. We use scientific behavior analysis to determine the trigger for the dog's unwanted behavior. Then, we use a combination of management, alternative behaviors, and calming techniques to change behavior. Dogs with a Bite history will need a Veterinary Health evaluation and possible evaluation by a Veterinary Behaviorist.
