Canine Coach and Wellness LLC approaches reactivity and aggression in dogs with personalized modern training methods focused on building confidence, reducing fear, and improving overall behavior. Through positive reinforcement, behavior modification techniques, and consistent training routines, dogs are guided to manage their emotional responses and develop healthier social interactions. Our professional trainers work closely with both dog and owner to understand the root causes of reactivity and aggression, whether they stem from past trauma, lack of socialization, or anxiety. The goal is not only to address the immediate behavioral issues but also to foster a shared bond and confidence between dog and owner to promote long-term success. By utilizing a combination of structured exercises, controlled exposure, and calming techniques, Canine Coach and Wellness LLC rehabilitates reactive/aggressive dogs into confident and balanced companions. 

​

Reactivity can manifest in various ways, and identifying the early signs is crucial for effective training and rehabilitation. Common types of reactivity include:

​

• Leash Reactivity: When a dog becomes overly excited, anxious, or aggressive while on a leash, often reacting to other dogs, people, or animals nearby.

• Fear-Based Reactivity: A dog reacts aggressively or defensively out of fear, typically when they feel threatened or cornered.

• Barrier Frustration: Reacting to perceived barriers (such as fences or windows) that prevent a dog from reaching something they want, such as a person or another animal.

• Territorial Reactivity: Aggression or reactivity triggered by the presence of unfamiliar people or animals within the dog’s perceived territory.

• Social Reactivity: Reactivity toward certain types of people or animals, often due to lack of proper socialization or negative past experiences

• Resource Guarding: an irregular behavior where a dog becomes protective or possessive over certain items, such as food, toys, or even people.
