Aggressive Dog Training in Mechanicsville, VA

Professional Training for Aggressive and Reactive Dogs

Off Leash K9 Training of Richmond offers training options for Mechanicsville dog owners dealing with aggression, reactivity, or significant anxiety. Current options include an eight-week Aggressive Dog Training program for dogs with aggression or reactivity around other dogs and a 3-Week Behavioral Board & Train for dogs with high reactivity toward people or other dogs or significant anxiety.

The appropriate program depends on your dog’s current behavior, training needs, and goals. Training focuses on obedience, handler skills, control, desensitization where included in the program, and management rather than promising that aggression will be permanently eliminated.

Our Aggressive Dog Training Programs in Mechanicsville

8-Week Aggressive Dog Training Program

The Aggressive Dog Training program is an eight-week program with eight private lessons specifically designed for dogs with aggression or reactivity issues around other dogs.

It includes the Basic Obedience curriculum plus additional lessons working with the owner and dog around other dogs in different scenarios. Richmond describes the goal as providing the owner and dog with skills, tools, control, and desensitization.

An e-collar and training leash are included.
