In the Beginner level, we deal with aggression problems when/if they are presented, as the dogs have now passed the generally agreeable age of puppy-hood and may be exhibiting inappropriate behavior toward other dogs, or even people in the family - or worse, strangers on the street.  Many Saskatoon dogs' lives have been saved by our humane and effective approach which leads the dog to a very clear understanding of what behaviors are expected when greeting people and other dogs.  Our approach does not involve ignoring bad behavior nor does it involve using distraction to 'take the dog's mind off'' the object of it's aggression.  We deal immediately and clearly with dangerous behaviors, providing feedback that the dog understands.  Each dog is different, and each is treated in a way that leads to a reshaping of behaviors that would have labeled it a 'dangerous dog' or even having to be put down.
