Aggression Specialist

The Pawsitive Packleader is an expert in handling aggression.  Most trainers focus on eliminating the visual signs of aggression that are merely symptoms.  However, this doesn’t changedog aggression seattle the cause of the underlying problem. Because aggression is neurological, it is imperative to have an understanding of how aggression is chemically produced in the brain.  Our behavior specialists use this scientific knowledge to create training sessions specifically designed to lower your dog’s sensitivity towards other dogs, strangers, or anything else they are displaying aggressive behavior towards.

In-Home Consultation:  Our first session will be a two-hour consultation in the comfort of your home to discuss your dog’s everyday life.  It is essential to understand how the dog lives: what their environment is, what they eat, how much exercise they receive, and what their training history is like.  Having a history of behavior is the most crucial element to forging an effective plan that will create effective results.

Behavior Analysis:  After our consultation, our team will give you an in depth evaluation discussing what is causing Fido's behavior problems and lay out a program to modify their aggression.  Typically there are numerous factors that are playing a role and we will be tackling all of them so your dog will achieve the results they need.

Advanced Training Sessions:  Our team works by your side to teach you what causes aggression, how to manage it, and how to modify it.  For dog aggression cases, we have a second trainer present to help manage training sessions, control or act as the decoy, and help ensure everyone's safety.  Many injuries that come from aggression rehabilitation are due to a lack of skilled and qualified trainers present.

Separation Anxiety

Separation anxiety is often treated much like reactive behavior.  Before we knew any better, trainers and behaviorists believed that desensitizing the departure of a dog's owner was the key to success.  Unfortunately most trainers still approach this behavior in the same way, despite very little results, leaving thousands of dogs in emotional pain every time their owners close the door behind them.  Separation anxiety has to be treated like human attachment disorder because dogs will never be successfully desensitized to their owner's departure.  Dogs may not be capable of understanding existential theories of the universe, but they know intuitively that their owner is linked to their survival.

Our methods focus on building trust and teaching a dog how to manipulate their environment in positive ways.  Once we do this, dogs become capable of coping with their owner's absence and have significantly less risk of relapsing into old behavior patterns.

In addition to our higher success rates, we do not charge advanced behavior rates for separation anxiety like our competitors do—regardless if your dog is suffering from mild or severe separation anxiety.  We are not undertakers and our pricing is only based on the personel needed for success.  If your dog is suffering from separation anxiety, contact us today to schedule a consultation and let's improve the emotional health of your household!
