Dog Aggression Management Courses

 

CouponDog Aggression Management courses start with  6 one hour private sessions for $440 with The Life of The Dog Services Alanna Isabella and Heziincluded as well.  The Dog Aggression Management Course will included six sessions of canine aggression management, behavior modification, socialization to dogs, children and adults, and our dog obedience training curriculum as well as reversal of hierarchy to reestablish you as the Alpha.   Aggressive canine behavior can stem from many variables and we will work with you to manage the canine aggression to make your life more enjoyable with your beloved dog.

In the aggressive dog training course we will teach you how to be the leader and stay the leader of the pack in all situations.  We think like pack leaders and will teach you how to see all the warning signals and body postures to be aware of when your dog first starts eliciting the aggression.   We also work with dominate/fearful puppies that at an early age start showing signs of dog aggression or possession.    We use a lot of counter conditioning techniques in the aggressive dog training course and show you how to change the dog’s mind- set before the canine aggression gets escalated.  

Our locations are 12900 Freemanville Rd Alpharetta 30004 or 11990 Hwy 92 at Trickum Ridge Animal Hospital. We also do in-home aggression management courses.   Please email Susie with your address to get a quote on canine aggression management in your home.  atlantadogtrainer@yahoo.com  A few other dog training aggression management courses are available in other Metro Atlanta Areas  as well as our Alpharetta Aggressive Management Courses and Woodstock Aggressive Management Courses.

 Our canine aggression management trainers are well versed in all types of dog aggression from territorial to dominant, predatory, human or dog aggressive and aggression based on fear issues and lack of confidence.   Since we work closely with so many rescue groups we have a lot of experience with fearful and phobic behaviors as well dog aggression.
Our methods are positive and effective without putting undue pressure on your dog or using any aggressive techniques that can cause the dog to redirect on another dog or a lower member of their pack [you or a child etc.]. We work with each dog as an individual and tailor the training to best fit your dog’s personality and learning abilities. We teach through opening the lines of communication, trust,  respect and consistency.   You cannot use aggression on aggression it will make your dogs aggression worse.

Testimonial:
"Although our two dogs had been members of the park for six months, we were actually referred to Susie Aga through a friend who is very active with animal rescue groups. Our rescue mix, Wally, had unexpectedly begun to exhibit aggression toward people, and our friend said that Susie had the best reputation for working with aggressive dogs in the North Atlanta area. I then made the connection, that this was Atlanta Dog Trainer, affiliated with the dog park.
Susie's training methods are very effective. She is firm, but obviously loves the dogs. She is a big advocate for using exercise to minimize training problems, and I think that's excellent advice. Progress requires a lot of time doing 'homework' but the work pays off. Susie is very good with all the dogs and their owners. Her own border collies are 'model citizens' and usually present for the training sessions. Wally was a star student in obedience class, and
Susie is continuing to work with us on home-related territorial aggression issues. We've had discussions with another trainer in the Atlanta area, that we felt was overly harsh in his methods and approach to the dogs. Susie understands that as an owner, you already love the dog, and if the dog hurts, so does the owner.
Our Schipperke, Zoe, has also participated in agility training with Susie, and responded very well. We'll undoubtedly be enrolling Zoe in future agility classes to help harness some of her abundant energy!We definitely recommend her services to anyone looking for just obedience, agility, or help with more troubling issues."

Canine Aggression Management tips:
When working with dog aggression you should try and take away any trigger that makes the canine aggression surface.  Stay away from other dogs and work at a distance when working on aggressive dog training management.  Once the dog is better then you can move closer and closer to the other dog, one step at a time.  Do not use aggression on aggression it can make the behavior worse.  Canine aggression must be managed through an experienced trainer or the aggression can get worse and the dog could redirect on a lower member of the pack.  You CANNOT use electric collars on dog aggression or any other canine aggressive behavior, you must understand what type of aggression it is and all the underlining factors in order to devise a program to work on your dogs aggression.   Once you see improvement in the aggressive dog training you can start socialization exercises at a distance and use positive redirecting as a method for desensitization for your dogs aggression.
