Aggressive and Reactive Dog 

4-8 week classes

Aggression: Your dog is behaving in a way (barking, lunging, growling, snarling, snapping, or biting) to make a threat go away. Aggression can also be caused by a variety of factors, including resources like food, toys, or resting spots, or high-arousal moments like excitement when someone enters the home.

Reactivity: Your dog becomes overly aroused (barking, lunging, growling) by a common stimuli (dog, bike, people).

Each class will be conducted at your house or a local park

Group Class

Canine Good Citizen Class (1 year or older)

The CGC program is a 10-item test that assesses a dog's behavior in a relaxed, noncompetitive setting. At the end of a 6 to 8 week course, owner and dog will be evaluated on dog's good manners and a dog owner's responsible dog ownership skills. 

Star Puppy Class (8weeks-12months)

At the end of a 6 week course owner and puppy will be tested on 20 items on behaviors of the owner and puppy. As well as learning cues like drop it and Leave it.

Behavioral Evaluation And Consultations:

Behavioral Evaluations: This will be conducted in-home. I will evaluate for reactivity, fear /stress response, aggressive behavior such as resource guarding, or if your dog has bitten a person or another animal. I will conduct tests evaluating the bond between you and your dog, impulse control, food/ toy motivation, responses to strangers and fast movement, and their ability to follow directions. I will create a custom treatment plan, and we will give an estimated cost.

(Cost: $40 per dog)

 

Consolations: This will be conducted in-home. We will discuss and ask questions to gain information, history, behavior (Jumping, Pulling on leash, Basic Obedience, Puppy Classes)give you information on training, create a custom training plan, and give an estimate cost. During the consultation, I will not see dogs that are reactive or aggressive. Please inquire about a behavioral evaluation for these issues.

(Cost: $20 per dog)
