Easily Prevent, Objectively Assess & Quickly Resolve Dog Aggression Problems
Obviously, prevention is the key to success — oodles of early socialization and handling with people and frequent off-leash walks, play and socialization with other dogs. With all cases of aggression (regardless of cause), the first step is to determine whether or not the dog is actually dangerous. Being reactive is not the issue; all animals “react”, humans included.
The essential question is: Do they cause physical harm? Dog bite incidents are objectively assessed on a 1–6 scale based on wound pathology. Dog fights are assessed by calculating the Fight:Bite Ratio. Most dog bites and dog fights cause little, if any, damage and so, the prognosis is excellent for a hasty resolution via speedy classical conditioning techniques and basic lure/reward training for control and focus.
With severe damage though, the dog is dangerous, the prognosis for resolution is extremely poor and so rehabilitation should not be undertaken cavalierly, if at all.

the course didn't offer much information regarding the course title. More talking than teaching I felt.
This course is taught by someone who has worked with dogs a long time. My one complaint is that he claims there is no such thing as aggressive dog breed. This is false. Many dog breeds are bred for aggressive behavior, such as military and police dogs. Some dog breeds should not be owned for any reason by people aren’t highly skilled at training dogs. Foolish people shouldn’t have access to dangerous dog breeds that they are unable to control.
Brilliant lecture.
Reinforces my beliefs of training!
excellant
Lots of rambling and not a lot of instruction.
I enjoyed this course. I am a dog trainer and dog walker am recently getting a few reactive? dogs coming through. I have picked up lots of new ideas which I know will work . Loved the presentation.
He is lovely, but he just rambles and the topics don't relate to the content.
Excellent program. Ian does a great job of explaining dog behavior and aggression. Great investment and very entertaining.
