Dog-to-Dog Aggression / Interspecies Aggression
Some dogs display aggression towards other dogs or other animals. There are many causes for this behavior, ranging from lack of socialization, learned behavior, traumatic experiences, a medical problem or simply high prey drive.
We first determine what type of inter-species aggression your dog has, how severe the aggression is and then implement a modification program with the assistance of one of our dogs, to begin reducing the aggression.
Our most successful cases, the dog is transformed from a dog that instantly attacked other animals to a dog that happily plays with other dogs.
We cannot guarantee this for all cases of inter-species aggression. There are some dogs that will not look to interact with other animals but even with these cases we can usually teach the dog to ignore or tolerate other animals, without displaying aggression towards them.
