Most of the dogs that fall into the category of reactive and aggressive dogs are coming from a place of fear, anxiety and confusion or are suffering from medical causes of the behaviour. Proper treatment of these issues requires a holistic approach incorporating nutrition, medicine, management, applied behaviour modification techniques, and training. With this kind of comprehensive program you can take your dog from stressed, to calm, confident, and compliant.
