This class is designed to serve clients with aggressive and fearful dogs that cannot enter into the regular class setting. Participants are asked to come alone for the first class with notebooks and pens. The first class is all about re-forming the relationship between dog & owner using psychological tactics that do not risk the safety of the handler. The knowledge will cover different forms of aggression, equipment, control over resources, leadership, safety, causes of aggressive behavior, how to break up dog fights, etc. Clients will be instructed to teach their dogs three basic commands: sit, down & heel. During this process, we will address each dog's behavior individually. This may include re-directed aggression towards the handler, aggression towards other dogs and/or certain types of dogs and people. Through this process, we will identify trigger points and work to get past the issues at hand. Each participant will gain knowledge on handling skills. proper equipment for their individual case and how to effectively use it. A great class for those that can't afford private sessions but have serious dog issues!
