About Our Aggressive Dog Training

An aggressive dog can cause difficulties when trying to incorporate them into your daily life, and can create stress and strain for everyone in your household. Often these behaviors stem from factors like inadequate socialization, fear, stress, or negative past experiences. Working collaboratively, you and your trainer can address and resolve some of these behavioral challenges.

Aggressive signs and behaviors include:

  • Growling
  • Baring teeth
  • Lunging
  • Snapping
  • Biting
  • Standing stiffly

First, we will want to understand why your dog is reactive. Aggression triggers can include fear, prey, food/toy possession, other dogs, and more. Our trainers can help identify the root of your dog’s aggression and develop a personalized training program to fit your needs. Contact us today!

We’ve been getting lessons with Dave from SMS since October 2023 when we rescued a 2 1/2 year old Blue Heeler. Dave has done a fantastic job training the dog on issues such as general obedience, mouthing/nipping and live stock and dog aggression.

Not only does Dave train the dog, but he trains us as well making sure we understand the training concepts. This gives us the opportunity to apply what we’ve learned so we can continue to progress in between lessons.

Based on the solid results with our Blue Heeler I would definitely recommend lessons with Dave at Sit Means Sit.

We picked up our puppy Sadie yesterday after two week of boarding and training, we are amazed at the difference in her. Dave the trainer that worked with her the two weeks was great. Our Sadie is deaf and we were having a hard time getting her to stop jumping on us and biting us, Since she couldn’t hear us. They started training right away and insured us that they had worked with deaf dogs before. The whole time she was with them Dave kept us informed on her progress and sent us videos of her in training. We were very nervous about leaving her that long but were reassured everyday that she was fine and improving. When we picked her up Dave spent as much time as we needed in training us the hand signals and her Sit Means Sit Collar they use and sent home with us. We will go back in a week for a refresher course and am looking forward to showing Dave the progress we made.

Thank you to Dave and the staff, Ryne & Ricki
