Aggression Dog Training
Dogs who feel scared, cornered or threatened may have immediate fight-or-flight responses. While many will automatically try to retreat, those who can’t might enter ‘fight’ mode and begin to display aggression. In some dogs, aggression may be inherited, learned or deeply instinctual. Other dogs, such as those with overinflated senses of confidence or dominance, might resort to aggression automatically, even if there’s no real threat present. Regardless, when your dog becomes aggressive, they can become scary, threatening, and even dangerous.
At Sit Means Sit Charleston, our aggression training approach helps ensure your dog builds confidence that lessens their ability to feel threatened in unique settings. We’ll work to learn the triggers of your dog’s aggression and help them learn crucial skills to lessen their anxiety and develop better reactions in potentially stressful situations.
Why Aggression Training
Aggression training may help your dog:
- Reduce nipping or biting
- Decrease reactivity
- Lower fear-based aggression
- Make socialization more comfortable
- Lower stress levels
- Gain coping mechanisms
- Manage separation anxiety
With these new skills, your dog might be able to gain a new sense of happiness, contentment, freedom and flexibility. Moreover, they’ll learn to temper their confidence to ensure they remain secure, but well-behaved, around others.
