SEMINAR: Aggressive Dogs
In this two-hour presentation, we will discuss what aggression / fear / anxiety / reactivity looks like and what we can do about it.
We will discuss why it occurs, how it manifests itself, and how we can reduce or eliminate it, including:
- What are the earliest signs?
- What should you do when the dog growls at you?
- What is the difference between a play growl and an aggressive growl?
- What to do with a dog that has bitten?
- How do you break up a dog fight?
We will then look at the types of cases that may be more likely to have a successful outcome, and which ones that may be more challenging, and go through:
– The behaviour modification process
– Managing the bite risk
– Goal setting
– Involving the veterinarian and the veterinary behaviourist
– Decisions about re-homing and euthanasia
No dogs.

- Next Orientation Class Sep 26
- WE HAVE MOVED TO COBBLE HILL! Nov 25
We enrolled our dog Xena in the basic Foundations course. Cowichan Canine provided professional and usable training for us. Our trainer Stephanie is an amazingly patient and knowledgeable instructor. The small class size was ideal and we always were able to get the attention and training instruction we needed. I would highly recommend Cowichan Canone to any dog owner who wants to improve the behaviour of their dog. We will be enrolling Xena in more classes in the near future.

My big triumph was on the beach two weeks ago. Arwyn gets to be off leash at the beach (she's been on the long line on forest hikes for months now) and there was a deer eating seaweed... the dogs, of course, blasted off after the deer up the steep bank... I called... AND THEY CAME BACK!!
A miracle.
Well, the miracle of training.
