Our Dog Aggression System

If you’re concerned about aggressive behavior—whether it’s territorial aggression, leash aggression, or other types of aggression—our specialized aggression-focused system is the solution for you. Many dog owners come to us with dogs that are overly reactive, and we tailor our approach to fit your dog’s specific needs based on their breed, age (puppy or older), and how they interact with other animals. We’ll pair you with one of our most experienced professional dog trainers to ensure a significant improvement in your dog’s behavior.

While the progress timeline may vary depending on your dog, here is a basic example of the typical stages your dog will go through in our aggression training system.

Stage 1: Building Comfort and Focus

Many aggression issues and behavioral problems, such as separation anxiety, can be deeply rooted, so we start the process slowly and thoughtfully. In this first stage, our focus is on building trust and getting your dog comfortable with our trainers. The dog remains on a leash, allowing us to safely introduce structure while using balanced training techniques, including our proprietary e-collar system for attention. Our goal here is to reduce initial anxiety and establish a foundation for redirecting aggressive behavior through controlled focus and positive reinforcement.

Stage 2: Establishing Obedience

Once your dog becomes more comfortable with the trainer and begins to focus attention appropriately, we progress to obedience training. This stage emphasizes basic commands such as “sit” and “stay,” ensuring your dog responds consistently. We gradually increase distractions, helping your dog remain calm and obedient even in more stimulating environments. The balanced approach, combining positive reinforcement with clear communication via the e-collar, helps your dog understand boundaries and expectations.

Stage 3: Introducing Controlled Socialization

At this stage, we begin reinforcing what your dog has learned, both on and off-leash. If your dog shows progress, we may introduce other dogs or animals from a distance, always maintaining a controlled environment. Our trainers closely monitor each interaction to gauge how your dog responds to these new challenges. We may use tools like a muzzle for added safety, especially when introducing new dogs or higher levels of distractions. This stage is critical for assessing how well your dog manages its aggression around others while off-leash.

Stage 4: Distraction and Off-Leash Training

With progress in focus and behavior, we advance to more complex off-leash training. Our trainers introduce additional distractions, including other dogs, people, and various environments, to ensure your dog’s improved behavior is maintained. We continue using our balanced training approach to keep your dog focused and responsive. During this stage, we evaluate whether any adjustments to the training plan are needed based on your dog’s performance and behavior.Stage 5

Stage 5: Refining Behavior and Continued Monitoring

In this final stage, your dog practices being fully off-leash in more dynamic situations. We continue reinforcing basic obedience commands while monitoring aggressive behavior closely to ensure significant improvement. If needed, we discuss with the owner whether further training is required or if transitioning into more advanced obedience or specialty training services is beneficial. This stage also offers an opportunity to fine-tune your dog’s behavior to ensure lasting results.
