Fear vs. Aggression

Too often dogs are labelled “aggressive” when we are actually seeing signs of fear, stress, and insecurity. While training obedience is important, we must also put effort into understanding our dogs’ needs and body language to make sure that we are setting them up for success in every situation.

Think your dog is showing signs of aggression? It’s entirely possible. But more often than not, we’re seeing dogs that don’t know how to cope with their anxiety which is resulting in unhealthy reactions. Reach out to us if you need help clarifying your dog’s behavior and setting up a plan for success.
