Growly Dog Class - Aggression Training & Management

Is your dog a Feisty Fido? This class is for dogs in the Seattle area who, for whatever reason, aggressively growl, bark, or lunge aggressively at other dogs. Whether your dog is being fearful or angry, this six-week class for aggression at our facility in Seattle will help you manage and train your dog.  If your dog barks but is friendly, you might consider the Barky Dog class in the Dream Dog program.

In the first training session of Growly Dogs, we will meet without dogs to discuss techniques for modifying and managing your dog's aggressive behavior.  For the other weeks, one student dog comes to each session.  As a class, we will discuss the dog's individual aggression/fear problem and do behavior modification activities with the dog du Jour using volunteer dogs and/or faux dogs.

In the Growly Dog class, you will be able to touch base with people who are dealing with the same sort of dog issues you are.  You will get techniques for minimizing/alleviating your dog's aggression and improving the quality of life for your dog-human family, including how to safely introduce your reactive dog to other dogs. 

You will learn skills for teaching your dog to pay attention to you, even when there is another dog present. Includes a free copy of "Feisty Fido, Help for the Leash Aggressive Dog," by Patricia McConnell, Ph.D.

Growly Dog Training Class Limit: 5 dogs.
