Dogs with aggression/behavioral problems are not looking at the world the way a normal dog does. They are unable to tell the difference between what they see as a possible threat and a real threat, or are unable to react appropriately. Behavior modification means changing the problem behavior through changing the dog's attitude. Serious aggression or behavior problems should be addressed by someone with proper training to deal with these issues.

Most dog owners would be surprised to learn that the great majority of dogs assumed to be "aggressive" are actually displaying confusion, learned reactiveness, or fearfulness.

Cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT) is an approach that was first developed in the late 1960's and early 1970's to treat neuro-typical people who were suffering from depression or anxiety.

Some dogs have problems and will continue to have them to some degree; others come to us with problems that we have been able to successfully eliminate. Others come essentially "ready to go" with no serious problems at all other than they have been unjustly abandoned. Most rescued dogs have had little or no formal training, and most have had poor care. Sometimes the dogs have been abused in one way or another and come with some degree of “baggage” (a lot like people).
