Is your dog aggressive?

Aggression can come in different forms including nervous aggression. A dog becomes afraid of a particular person, and will start to bark and show his teeth, but from a distance. There could be a number of different reasons why a dog will behave in this way, such as body language, eye contact, ill treatment by someone in the animal's past, or maybe problems with socialisation.

If you have a dog showing any of these signs, please do contact me. I will happily come out to asses your pet. This can be solved through correct training methods. These methods are kind to the dog and not harmful in any way.

Dominance aggression is when a dog takes over your home and takes control by growling at you and showing his teeth, especially when you are trying to get the dog to do something. This can be caused by the dog not having his own boundaries in the home. Also, if he doesn't have his own bed, he will find one anywhere in the house and claim it as his. It may even be your sofa!

There are so many reasons why a dog behaves aggressively. If your pet is showing signs of aggression, I can help you with kind and effective training methods.
