Overview

Owning a dog who shows aggressive behaviour can make everyday life stressful, particularly when it comes to walks or social environments. Your dog may be anxious around other dogs or wary of people, either way, our Aggression Training Programme is designed to help you safely and calmly address these behaviours over time.

During training we focus on identifying triggers, improving safety and management, and helping your dog remain more relaxed and neutral in challenging situations. Training is delivered 1:1 in controlled environments*, progressing at a pace suitable for your dog.
