It's important to seek the help of an aggression specialist in behavior modification if your dog displays any type of aggression towards you or strangers. In this particular aspect of my work, dog owners often tend to lose hope and struggle to find effective solutions for this problem.
The dog may exhibit aggressive behavior, such as baring its teeth or growling when touched or handled in a specific manner. Additionally, it may display resource guarding tendencies, potentially biting if someone approaches its food, toys, or even its owners.
It's crucial to acknowledge that all dogs have the potential to change and improve. Owners must be prepared to make a complete lifestyle change based on my recommendations, training and guidance that we'll do together. Owners need to be ready to alter their habits, tendencies, daily routines, and methods of communicating and interacting with their dog. When seeking assistance for helping these dogs, it's important to select a trainer with real proven experience and a successful approach.
I've worked with all types of dog aggression, including fear aggression, territorial aggression, protective aggression, and possessive aggression to name a few. If you need help with an aggressive dog, please don't hesitate to contact me today. Oftentimes these dogs get given up on quickly by owners, trainers, dog behaviorists and vets because they simply don't understand how to help you. Together, we can make a positive change in your dog's behavior and your relationship with them.
If the aggression is directed towards you, the owner, this is a clear indication that there's a lack of leadership and understanding in the relationship between the owner and the dog. It's important to be ready to make changes, I'll be there to support you every step of the way and show you exactly what needs to change and what needs to be done.
If your dog is NOT aggressive towards you, it's important to know how to help them become more calm, relaxed, tolerant, and friendly towards people and other dogs. With my years of experience working with aggressive dogs and learning from the world's most renowned dog aggression specialists, you can trust that I know the path needed to help your dog.
Knowing how to address aggression in dogs and the necessary changes in their lives is crucial. I strongly advise against giving up on your dog or isolating your dog when visitors come to your home, additionally, I do not ever recommend veterinary medication as a solution because it doesn't work. Rest assured, I know what these dogs need and I will provide continuous support throughout your dog's progress and transformation.
I want to assure you that there is a way to change the dynamics in and out of your household when it comes to your aggressive dog. With my deep understanding of canine behavior, dog psychology and nearly 10 years of experience I will guide you through the process. As part of my personalized training, done in the convenience of your home and neighborhood, you'll receive specific daily homework after each session to help ensure lasting change.

"Michael was amazing to work with and helped us with our fear based reactive German shepherd with 2 sessions! He helped us find the confidence and discipline we needed to have a healthier relationship with our dog! Great trainer with great results! đź‘Ť"
"After having 2 previous trainers, my dog Daisy still barked at everyone and everything. It was embarrassing and difficult to take her out for walks. Now my dog is relaxed on her walks and stays right by my side. Thank you Michael for not letting me give up on my sweet 5 year old schnauzer. Michael is an amazing trainer who is very professional, kind and dedicated. I give him 6/5 stars !"
"Wow! Wow! Wow! Best dog training I have ever experienced! Michael is the real deal! I have been to other dog trainers in the past, they were ok, but what I found was that you become a hostage to what they call “positive reinforcement”, in other words, “Treats” – this method is only an interim solution and you and your dog end up being dependent on the treats. With Michael, we have been taught how to effectively communicate with our dog. With Michael's help, we have finally established ourselves as someone our dog defers to, looks for guidance, trusts and follows. Now my dog is one of the best behaved I've ever seen, and I fully endorse Michael's method of Training – He is the best – Thanks Michael"
"Dear Michael, I just wanted to express as a family our deep gratitude for your dedicated work. Thank you so very much for your kindness, wonderful instruction, and professionalism. You were able to correct Zorro's aggressive behavior after only two visits. Despite his small size, Zorro was very aggressive towards strangers. Now he is well educated and follows our instructions much better :) Thank you once again for your help"
"We previously tried a well-known dog training school for our super reactive dog. We, we did 3 classes of 6 sessions for a total of 18 training sessions with no positive results. We were about to give up when we found Michael on the web. I contacted him, and we had our first session within a week. After explaining his method, we went outside and the results were immediate. We couldn't believe it. If your dog barks after everything (people, dogs, cars, bikes, etc.), give Michael a call!"
"Working with Michael was like MAGIC! The dog’s behaviors drastically changed after 1-2 sessions. From lunging and barking when seeing another dog to calm and quiet! Amazing! Walking our dog is such a pleasure now without being pulled in every direction!! Michael is very knowledgeable and patient. I recommend him to anyone."
"Michael did an amazing job with our dog. He has such a confidence-inspiring and assertive - yet kind - approach. Michael was super patient with our recently-adopted dog (and us!), who pulled on the leash way too much and was a little too enthusiastic when people came to the door. Walking our dog is such a joy now and our dog is much calmer in the house. Thank you, Michael!"
