Managing Your Dog's Territorial Aggression at the Front Door

Leave a Message for ScottNavigating the choppy waters of canine territorial aggression just got smoother. Our latest discussion zeroes in on the strategies needed to manage dogs with a keen sense of trepidation when it comes to visitors coming into their home. You'll discover how to categorize these guests into three distinct camps, and we'll pay special attention to those 'level two' visitors who, with the right approach, could move from unfamiliar to trusted allies in your dog's eyes. We'll also cover everything from leveraging a safe space and the benefits of a pre-entry stroll to the favorable non-interactive stance a visitor should maintain upon entering your domain.View this Episode on YouTube:Ep. 36: Managing Your Dog's Territorial Aggression at the Front Door, Part 2FacebookResources:Scott Sheaffer's Free & Premium Training VideosScott Sheaffer's Dog Behavior ArticlesBook an Online or In-Person Session with ScottAbout Scott SheafferScott Sheaffer, CCBC-KA, CDBC, CPDT-KA, is a certified dog behavior consultant who has worked with thousands of dog owners and their aggressive dogs.
