Aggression and Reactivity Rehabilitation
The dogs other trainers turned down.
Lunging, barking, snapping, resource guarding, bite history. This is the work I started In Line K9 to do.

Right for you if
This is the program when
- Leash reactivity toward dogs or people
- Resource guarding food, toys, or people
- Fear based aggression after an attack or trauma
- Dogs who have already bitten or nipped
- Owners who have been turned away elsewhere
What we cover
By the time your dog comes home
- A full assessment of the behavior and what is driving it
- A management plan you can run safely from day one
- Threshold work, then controlled exposure, then real world
- Neutrality around the specific triggers your dog has
- Honest conversation about what is realistic for your dog
- Handler coaching so you are not the weak link
Every dog is different, so this is the shape of the work rather than a fixed checklist. What your dog specifically needs gets set at the evaluation.
How it runs
Start to finish
-
01
A phone call, free
You tell me what is going on. I tell you what is driving it and whether I am the right person for it. Nothing gets booked on this call.
-
02
An in person evaluation
I meet your dog. You get my read, the plan, and the number, before you commit to anything.
-
03
Your dog lives and trains with me
One trainer, hands on, every day. Photos and videos of the real work while it happens.
-
04
Three to five sessions training you
Not optional. A trained dog handed to an untrained owner unravels in a month. We go longer if you need longer.

I stay on the hook
Advanced Obedience and behavior programs carry a lifetime training guarantee. Basic Obedience includes a month of additional sessions if you need them. Either way, call me.
On length
Programs here are not sold as a fixed block of days. If your dog needs longer to reach the standard, it stays longer and you are not charged for the extra time. One client had a dog held three extra weeks at no cost because he was not ready at the six week mark.
Around the fifth week, Aaron let us know that Enzo wasn’t ready to return at the end of the six-week program because he was still extremely stubborn and needed more time.
