Working with Aggression

When dogs react in an aggressive way, it causes obvious concern and often anxiety about how to resolve it.

Attempting to fix the problem yourself often makes the situation worse.

For this reason it is always advisable to seek out professional help as soon as possible.

There are many forms of aggression and also many reasons why dogs display aggressive tendencies.

Aggression needs to be correctly understood and addressed with care. 

Why are dogs aggressive?

Dogs often feel insecure or unsure of their surroundings and are unable to communicate their needs. They are often confused by our inconsistent behaviours and we easily miss the mild signs of stress that can escalate into aggressive reactions from them. By this time the dog has ‘learned’ that mild reactions don’t work and a more overt aggressive behaviour is the only way to communicate.  Understandably the dog, therefore, uses aggression

Ethical, science based, help and guidance for you and your dog

My job as a Certified Dog Behaviour Consultant is to help you understand the reasons behind your dog’s unwanted behaviour and offer well researched, ethical, practical guidance and support to bring about positive changes.

One to One Consultations

Providing this level of expertise goes beyond a 'one size fits all' training approach. Every dog is different, therefore, an individualised ‘plan of action’ to help resolve the problems you are facing with your dog is, I believe, the key to positive and successful outcomes.
