Understanding Aggression in Dogs

Aggressive dogs might bite, lunge, snap, bark, growl or do other unexpected, off-putting things. But an aggressive dog does not necessarily equal a bad dog. After all, canine aggression often stems from fear, anxiety, pain or past trauma—but with the right training, it’s possible to help them overcome these challenges. Sit Means Sit Cleveland Westside is ready to be your dog’s champion as they work to end aggression and live a happier, healthier life.

The Benefits of Aggressive Dog Training

Sit Means Sit’s aggressive dog training program comes packed with advantages. By joining, your dog can learn to:

  • Reduce reactivity, biting and other potentially dangerous behaviors.
  • Gain confidence and feel less anxiety in new, potentially scary scenarios.
  • Better their socialization skills when introduced to new people and animals.
  • Trust their owner to have their best interests at heart in different situations.

Each of these new behaviors can make a big difference in how your dog approaches everyday situations, helping them feel more in control of their surroundings without having to resort to reactive or defensive behaviors. That way, they’ll be happier, more content and more secure when facing all that life has to offer.

From day one, our aggressive dog training program is designed to set you and your dog up for long-term success.

  • Step 1 – Personalized Evaluation: Our free, comprehensive evaluation is the perfect way to introduce any dog to Sit Means Sit in a safe, welcoming space. We’ll get a baseline for their training needs and determine which training program is best for them.

Nationally Acclaimed Cleveland Westside Dog Trainers

I have been to Sit Means Sit Cleveland with two dogs, different ages for different classes. I highly recommend Sit Means Sit for dogs of all ages. Their Puppy training classes turned my wild fun puppy into a listening wild fun puppy and their advanced classes are equally as great.. They truly care about your dog as much as you do.. 5 stars all the way around..
I took my English Mastiff puppy to Sit Means Sit Cleveland for Puppy Preschool. The dog trainers are very engaged and knowledgeable. I saw a total transformation in my puppy by the end of the 6 weeks. I can’t wait to get him enrolled into something else! I would highly recommend Sits Means Sit Westside for any puppy or doggo training needs you may have!
I would give Sit Means Sit Cleveland 10 stars! The genuine love and care they provide while incorporating training was more than we ever expected with our little deaf girl Mazie. Mike and his dog training team are incredible. Looking forward to the group classes and continuing to work with them. I cannot thank them enough.
