What to Expect From Aggressive Dog Training

  • Structured Training: Programs combine obedience with behavior-focused work appropriate to the selected option.
  • Owner Involvement: Private lessons work directly with the owner and dog, while the Behavioral Board & Train includes pre- and post-training private sessions.
  • Different Options for Different Concerns: Richmond offers separate formats for dog-to-dog aggression or reactivity and broader high-reactivity or anxiety concerns.
  • Realistic Expectations: Major aggression issues cannot be guaranteed to be completely resolved. Training can help improve control and management.

Realistic Expectations for Behavior Training

Progress with aggression and reactivity varies by dog. Factors such as the dog’s behavior history, triggers, training consistency, environment, and owner follow-through can affect progress.

Richmond explicitly notes that major issues such as dog or people aggression cannot be guaranteed to be completely fixed. Training is intended to give owners greater control and better tools for managing these behaviors.
