Aggression towards humans


Potentially the most serious dog behaviour problem is a dog who attacks people. Any contact between a dog's teeth and the human skin could be categorized as a bite and obviously this can vary in severity from a small bruise to massive damage requiring plastic surgery to repair or, in the worst case, death of the person attacked. Thankfully, this is a rare occurrence as dogs will give plenty of warning about their intentions, but it does happen.


We will help you by assessing your dog at one of our venues or at your home and advise on a course of training and therapy required to rehabilitate the dog.











In most cases we use a Comprehensive Approach which involves:


  • Restructuring the relationship
  • Substituting the undesirable behaviors with desirable ones
  • Desensitisation techniques
  • Gradual or swift changes in the husbandry of the animal and discuss the inclusion of possible pharmacological supports to be prescribed by the referring veterinary surgeon
