Dog Aggression & Reactivity is Stressful for Everyone.
But not with Canine United Mobile Dog aggression & Reactivity Training
Dog aggression and dog reactivity is very stressful for the Dog and the owner. Whether it is dog to dog aggression or dog to human aggression or home guarding territorial aggression. It puts the dog in a fearful, aggressive, panic, stressed, and nervous state, and it is always on guard and worried. The same goes for the owner as well, being stressed out because you can’t walk your dog near other dogs or humans and just enjoy a nice walk. This can also be true when taking your dog to the dog park, having other people and dogs over to your house, not being able to go to doggy daycare (because the dog has to be separated and alone), and just can’t go anywhere because the both of you don’t feel safe, happy, and relaxed.
Of course, the worst-case scenario is there is a dog fight and someone gets bitten; then there can be lawsuits and fines, or your dog gets confiscated and may need to be put down because it’s now classed as ‘aggressive’ and can not be re-adopted.
On a positive note, dog-to-dog aggression and general dog aggression & dog reactivity can be cured or at least minimized to a manageable state with dog aggression and dog reactivity training. Where the owner and dog are not out of control and dangerous to the public. How this works is, you need to have a professional Dog aggression and reactivity trainer in this field with special behavior modification, psychology, training for the dog, and special training equipment, including a special rehabilitation dog to use with the aggressive dog. With time and patience, this works very well to achieve great results.
Please note…. There are a lot of pop-up dog aggression training classes and workshops, sometimes called reactive rover training classes and dog training classes for this all over the city, where they have a class full of these aggressive and reactive dogs.
If you have a dog with dog-to-dog aggression or dog reactivity, you do not put them in a room with other dogs that have this problem. That is ridiculous! What will happen is it will take longer for the dog to overcome their problem, cost you more overall for training, maybe give the dog a traumatic experience, and it will never overcome this problem. It will be a very frustrating time and waste of money with all the dogs trying to harm or kill each other.

Dog Fears and Phobia’s
Major dog fears and phobias are very distracting and upsetting to a dog, as well as the owner. As with Dog aggression and dog reactivity, the dog is stressed out, worried, on guard, and in a fearful state. It can be anything that scares or spooks a dog: food aggression, dog sibling aggression, possessive and resource guarding of toys, bed, people, water, cars, alarm clocks, or even a cucumber. Since dogs behave differently than humans, it’s very easy for a dog to have a traumatic experience related to something, making it harder to fix the problem because it’s now a negative experience that has been escalated and learned, rather than just a fear.
An example would be if you had a dog that was never afraid of electrical cords, then one day it walked over them and a back leg gets caught in the cords. The dog gets trapped and spooked and now has a fear of cords. Now, every time the dog goes near them, he/she has fear and won’t want to walk over them or go near them anymore. It can happen with anything at anytime.
As with dog-to-dog aggression, again, with time, patience, and practice, it can be cured or at least minimized to a manageable state. One-on-one training with a Certified Dog Trainer (who has studied major fears and phobias, has special training equipment, and has a behavioral and psychological rehabilitation training program) is the most direct method to address your dog’s issues and produces the most successful results.
How this program works is the same as with our Dog Training & Rehabilitation program. As fears and phobias get incorporated into the dog training program with no extra cost or charges. Understanding your pet’s behavioral patterns is essential for successful rehabilitation for the dog.
EXCELLENT Based on 73 reviews Posted on Google Cori KeatingTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. So impressed with Ryan and the wealth of information he has. I’ve had dogs all my life, but not one like Pepper and I learnt so much new info to build a better relationship with my Pepper. I thought before calling Ryan my issues with my high strung Aussie Doodle were not serious enough for a dog trainer. She’s not aggressive, just reactive and I could deal with it. But Ryan validated my concerns and seemed to know exactly what training Pepper and I (mostly) need to build a better life long connection. Thanks Ryan!! I’ll definitely be calling back for the next leg of learning.Posted on Google Vasilica WattsTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Ryan has been patient and friendly, explaining the psychology behind why helping the dog the way we were trying to may not work. We have had our three year old Texan rescue for about six months now and have used Ryan on and off to support in our home and with my in laws as well, since the first week we got him. We had a very scared rescue prior and wish we knew about Ryan back then. Working through his suggestions, we have seen huge improvements and are grateful.Posted on Google Elizabeth HaidTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Ryan is very easy going, good teacher and knowledgeable. I 💯 recommend Ryan.Posted on Google Joslyn RosellTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. What an amazing experience! Ryan is clear, concise and an amazing teacher! Our Zoey changed overnight with his knowledge of behaviour and feeding! Would highly recommend to anyone who is looking for some training! We would not go anywhere else!Posted on Google Kristine ThiessenTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Ryan was fantastic with helping our puppy deal with his fears. He got our puppy to trust him within 15 minutes of being here. He gave us some great tips that we will be putting to use asap. We definitely will be using Ryan in the future for any issues with twix. Thank you so much Ryan!!Posted on Google EmmanuelTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I contacted Ryan upon an incident that made it clear I had already waited too long. Just after the first session, the difference in my dogs behaviour walking and around strangers improved dramatically. Since our first meeting, continually applying what Ryan told me, it has become so apparent how trainable my dog actually is despite my previous views due to my own mistakes/misunderstandings. Cannot recommend Ryan enough, I will continue with him even when I feel I’ve hit “ that point “ with my pups just to make sure my upkeep doesn’t slide. Trust Ryan, he is beyond friendly, a true dog lover at heart and more knowledgeable than google ( which is hard to accomplish considering the infinite amount of “ knowledge “ that google holds )Posted on Google Jessie KeithTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Oh my goodness, blessings to Canine United for helping us with our new 10 week old lab puppy! Ryan was absolutely fantastic and he taught us so much that we didn’t know! So much of what we were reading on the internet was leading us down the wrong path of training, specifically with nipping and biting. We were getting to a breaking point with the biting puppy phase and Ryan gave us the best advice and after only THREE days, our puppy is now so much better. A sincere thank you to Ryan and I’d recommend his services to anybody with a new puppy!Posted on Google AndrewTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I can't recommend Canine United enough. Extremely professional and knowledgeable, helped nip all our puppies behavioral issues in the bud. Also teaches a lot of tips and tricks for everyday dog life. I always initial had some doubt how easy Ryan made corrections sound, but what he's able to show and teach seems like a miracle.Posted on Google Tim LittleTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. our newly adopted dog was a nightmare to walk (ever try waterskiing?) after one session with Ryan our dog walks like a show dog, highly recommended. sorry we missed to give you a tip, next session
