Does your dog see every unfamiliar person as a potential threat?
Does he exhibit aggressive behaviors such as growling, barking, snapping, or even biting when new people enter your home?
While most dogs vary in their sociability, having a dog that displays aggression towards people can lead to isolation and safety concerns.
Living with a dog that is uncomfortable around new people can be a lonely experience. I'll provide insights into why your dog behaves the way he does, empowering you with the knowledge to help him change his feelings and reactions.
I'll guide you through interactive games and exercises specifically designed to create a positive shift in how your dog views new people. This gradual transformation aims to replace apprehension with a sense of calm or even friendly engagement.
We'll craft a personalized plan tailored to your daily life to provide you with effective strategies for preventing and managing your dog's aggressive outbursts. I'll teach you how to interpret your dog's body language and intervene before situations escalate. Additionally, you'll acquire skills in safely handling your dog to ensure the safety of everyone involved.
Get ready to party! Our efforts will enhance your communication with your dog and build a mutual trust that can eventually expand his circle of trusted individuals.
I’m a life long pet guardian who has struggled firsthand with dog reactivity.
After struggling with my six year rescue, Louie’s reactivity, and finding no effective training options, I enrolled in the Karen Pryor Academy to better educate myself on the science behind animal behavior and positive reinforcement training.
The course changed Louie’s and my life.
Since then I’ve added to my credentials by certifying as a Fear-Free professional and a Canine First Aid responder and completed the Michael Shikashio Aggression in Dogs Masterclass.
I firmly believe that all dogs, irrespective of breed or background, can be trained through positive reinforcement. Science proves it.
I am now on a mission to empower dog guardians and their dogs with more positive experiences through behavior consulting and training so that they can be better companions to each other.
