FEAR & AGGRESSION

If you’re struggling with feelings of guilt because of your fearful/aggressive dog’s behaviour, I’m here to say, don’t worry: This is not your fault!

If your dog struggles with fear and anxiety, they’re probably behaving in ways that present as “aggression”: growling, snapping, even biting. This can be very stressful for everyone in the home.

When I work with fearful dogs, my goal is to help them feel better about whatever is upsetting them. This may seem simple enough, but it involves going at the dog’s pace, which may be super, duper slow. The last thing I want is for a fearful dog to get even worse.

If you’re struggling with any of these behaviour concerns, I can help!

  • Resource guarding

  • Body handling issues

  • Sensitivity to noises (e.g. fireworks)

  • Reactivity to other dogs, people, or other triggers (lunging and barking)

  • Fear of vet or grooming appointments

  • Issues with giving medicine or treatments

  • Fear of strangers visiting the home
