Aggression Prevention
Aggression Prevention Training
Helping Your Dog Make Better Choices
Does your dog growl at strangers or react aggressively to other animals? Our Aggression Prevention program helps transform fearful or defensive behaviors into calm, confident responses. This isn’t about quick fixes; we give you and your dog the skills to navigate stressful situations safely and peacefully.
At Superior Dog Training, we understand that aggression usually stems from fear, anxiety, or a lack of socialization. Our specialized classes focus on identifying your dog’s specific triggers, whether it’s strangers, other dogs, or resource guarding. Through controlled, positive exposure and alternative behavior training, we help your dog learn that calm behavior gets rewards while aggression doesn’t work.
You’ll master techniques like safe distance management, stress signal recognition, and confidence-building exercises. We teach dogs to look to you for guidance in tough situations rather than reacting instinctively. For particularly challenging cases, we offer small group sessions with carefully matched dogs to practice appropriate social skills in a controlled environment.
Our force-free methods build trust while establishing clear boundaries. You’ll learn how to advocate for your dog in public spaces, set them up for success at home, and gradually expand their comfort zone. We provide realistic strategies for walks, vet visits, and household routines that prevent aggressive outbursts before they start.
