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.

Hi Lisbeth - just a quick note to thank you so much for your help with Jay. My relationship with him has transformed completely and we're really in a good place. It was definitely a great thing that we did with you and we really appreciate your expertise and care.

Lisbeth -I just wanted to send a quick note to let you know that Lexy is doing great. We are so proud of her. In the last month it seems like she has realized that life is ok here and she doesn’t have to worry anymore. Resource guarding gone. No more worried looks. Even the door is ok now. When familiar people come she doesn’t even bother getting off the couch anymore and minimal barking with any other comings and goings. I have had her off leash a fair bit and she listens when I call her. And she regularly turns around to see where I am. Best of all, she loves to swim and she loves the sailboat.
Thanks for all your help –
Warm regards from us and Lexy !!
