Understanding Aggression in Dogs
Does your dog seem fearful around other people or animals? Do they bark excessively, tremble, hide, or act out with destructive behavior? These reactions can seriously impact your dog’s quality of life (not to mention your own).
Anxiety is common in dogs of all breeds and backgrounds. It can stem from things like past trauma, limited socialization, sudden changes in their environment or even genetics. If your dog appears uneasy around people, other dogs, loud noises or unfamiliar situations, anxiety might be the cause. However, appropriate training and behavior modification can make all the difference.
Fortunately, the right dog training and behavior modification can make all the difference. At Sit Means Sit, our Buffalo-based trainers use positive reinforcement and reward-based techniques to encourage good behavior and gradually desensitize nervous dogs to their triggers. With this improved confidence, your pup will now be able to handle new and familiar situations without fear.
