Aggression
Consultations
Unfortunately
not all dogs are easy to live with. Due to genetics or environment there
are always some that display aggression towards other dogs, other people and
sometimes family members.
Most
of these dogs can be rehabilitated through obedience training, changes in
routine in the home and sometimes through management of their environment.
Aggression problems are never solved quickly, but with a motivated owner the
situation can usually be improved and in some cases completely changed.
Alchemy
aggression consultations take place in your home, the trainer will
evaluate your dog in his own environment where he feels most comfortable and is
most likely to exhibit the aggressive behavior that prompted the session.
Usually an aggression consultation is very similar to a detective novel, lots of
fact finding, lots of questions and answers, the dog may be provoked in minor
ways - there will be no physical confrontation at any time between the trainer and
the dog. Aggression is never solved through physical brutality.
An
honest evaluation of the dog will be given at the end of the session, it will
include recommendations for specific obedience training, changes in household
routine, changes in owner/family interaction with the dog.
