Dog Aggression Training
Mark is an on-lead aggression specialist, having completed the Aggression in Dogs Master Course, and is a Certified Behaviour Adjustment Training Instructor (CBATI-KA). If barking and lunging on lead is an issue, Mark can help. His modern, best practice techniques avoid punishment and outdated dominance concepts. If traditional dominance and pack-leader methods haven’t worked, or don’t resonate with you and how you want to treat your dog, let Mark introduce modern methods that focus on the relationship and avoid the fallout of punishment and absolute control.
