As your dog gets better with their canine aggression you can come to the group classes to keep refreshing yourself on the obedience training and work in a controlled environment. Rather than be forced to walk your dog in the middle of the night (when no one is around) you would be better advised to get a muzzle (like one of the inexpensive plastic ones that we sell) and use it during your socializing and obedience lessons.

Now, you may have considered hiring a professional dog trainer to help solve your dog's behavior problems. Unfortunately for my dog, he was originally trained by an in-home trainer from Canine Counselors who did a poor job six-hundred dollars later.

Very few dog trainers really understand dominance and aggression. Canine aggression must be managed through an experienced trainer or the aggression can get worse and the dog could redirect on a lower member of the pack.

Certain dog breeds are more prone to aggressive dog behavior than others. The wolf-hybrid has killed or injured more children per capita than any other breed of dog. While the wolf-hybrid may be the most dangerous animal out there in terms of aggression towards kids, lets not underestimate the untrained dominant border collie or any other breed.

The needs of each dog breed varies according to their heritage and individual breeding, which can actually vary from region to region. There are various breeds (hunter breeds in particular) have that craving to be out in the open and experience outdoor activities or training due to their programmed genes.
