Professional Dog Training by Maureen Keene of Keene Kanine

Aggressive Dog Training

There are many reasons why dogs can become aggressive. Some medical conditions can cause dogs to become aggressive. If a dog that has never shown any sign of aggression suddenly begins growling, snapping, or biting, it may be caused by a disease or illness. Pain is a prevalent cause of aggression in dogs. 

Dog aggression stems from the dog's frustration and dominance. As dogs age, they can become more aggressive due to a combination of factors, including hormone changes, arthritis pain, and cognitive decline.

It's essential to understand why your dog is becoming aggressive so that you can take steps to prevent it from happening again. If you're concerned about your dog's behavior, it's always best to consult a veterinarian or a dog trainer specializing in correcting aggressive dog behavior.

Anxiety Training

Dogs can develop anxiety for various reasons, such as loud noises, changes in the environment such as thunder and lightning, being left alone for a significant amount of time, fear of strange people or animals, visual stimuli like hats or umbrellas, aging, and medical conditions. 



Suppose you think your dog is suffering from anxiety. In that case, it's essential to consult with a veterinarian or a professional dog trainer for anxiety who can help you identify the cause of your dog's anxiety and develop a treatment plan.

Excessive Barking Training

Dogs bark for various reasons, such as boredom, marking their territory, compulsive barking, excitement, fear, and feeling threatened or mistreated by other dogs in the past. Some dog breeds are naturally more vocal than others. 

If you think your dog is barking excessively and want to stop it, an experienced dog trainer like Maureen Keen can identify the cause and develop a training plan to reduce your dog barking.
