Dog Aggression Tips

Filed under: Blog — darrelhager @ 3:51 pm

If you are dealing with any kind of severe aggression try keeping the dog away from the situation untill you are able and have the tools to interupt the unwanted behavior. Find a skilled dog trainer that can show you how to redirect the dog in the given situation while keeping everyone safe. If the dog is never exposed to whatever is triggering the aggression he will never get better. At the same time if the behavior is not addressed, the dog will only get worse as it has more opportunites to practice and establish the bad habit.
Whether it’s dog aggression or human aggression do your best to have a back up plan so no one gets bitten.

Aggressive Pitbull, Dog Training in Chicago

Filed under: Blog — darrelhager @ 1:01 pm

Call: 608-381-1527 and set up your Demo
Any breed of dog can become aggressive, but it becomes an immediate concern for owners when they own a large breed dog. Obviously the larger breeds are going to cause more damage than a Cockapoo or a Shih Tzu will. Many Pitbull owners recognize the necessity to get there dog into a trainer before any unwanted incidents happen even to avoid the unwanted media. In this video I’m working with a dog that was bit by another dog and learned to deal with his insecurities by becoming aggressive. Hopefully a little training can help the guy become more confident and conquer his fears.
