Aggression &
Behavior Modification

Aggression is the most common behavior problem in dogs and the most serious. It often leads to dogs being brought to shelters or euthanized when they become too much to handle.

Seek the help of behaviorists, trainers, and veterinarians before resorting to a local shelter or euthanasia.

Most people who welcome a dog into their home anticipate many years of happy companionship. But some dogs exhibit aggressive behaviors, which can come in many forms for many reasons.

Aggression can make it a challenging to integrate a dog into your life. Living with an aggressive dog can cause stress for the entire family. Although your first instinct might be to assume aggression is a part of your dog’s breed or personality, in many cases, their behavior is caused by lack of socialization, stress, fear, negative experiences or neglect.

The good news is that here at Guardian K9 Solutions we are experienced dog trainers who can help diagnose and address the type of aggression in your dog and work with you to build a customized training plan to resolve some of these behavioral issues.
