While engaged in a conversation elsewhere, I posted many links to show work I have done on dogs with defensive or offensive aggression over the last half dozen years or so.
EVERY dog in these videos had issues with other dogs, humans, or both. The sameness you see is because the method works. No yanking on dogs with poorly chosen, poorly fitted collars, no laminating dogs to cots with electronic collars at the highest settings…
We don’t even address any specific defensive/aggressive behavior, we train around it, on purpose.
When you make it the dog’s idea, not only does the dog learn faster, but it becomes a coping strategy. Providing options, guiding choices, and controlling outcomes do way more than extracting *obedience*. When done correctly, it helps the dog make better decisions in the future.
If your goal is to minimize conflict that may trigger defensive aggressive dog behaviors, then don’t lead with confrontational methods.
The skills we teach our students are designed to help the dog manage the presence of distractions successfully. Our training method is not tool-reliant and can be taught without creating conflict. These strategies are part of a larger, highly successful training program designed to accommodate every behavior, breed, age, and need.
People call it ‘old school’.
Good training never goes out of style.
If you are tired of being ‘sold’ to, maybe you should be looking for results like this.
We are here when you are ready.
