About Our Aggressive Dog Training

An aggressive dog can cause difficulties when trying to incorporate them into your daily life, and can create stress and strain for everyone in your household. Often these behaviors stem from factors like inadequate socialization, fear, stress, or negative past experiences. Working collaboratively, you and your trainer can address and resolve some of these behavioral challenges.

Aggressive signs and behaviors include:

  • Growling
  • Baring teeth
  • Lunging
  • Snapping
  • Biting
  • Standing stiffly

First, we will want to understand why your dog is reactive. Aggression triggers can include fear, prey, food/toy possession, other dogs, and more. Our trainers can help identify the root of your dog’s aggression and develop a personalized training program to fit your needs. Contact us today!

My dog training journey began when I adopted my first dog, Airlie, while in college at UNCW. Having grown up with dogs, I expected that training would come easily to me, but quickly found myself researching and learning each day. After school I ended up in the corporate world working for a software company, but… Read More

Going through training with Sit Means Sit was genuinely life changing for my dog and I. She was highly reactive and anxious when we first adopted her. We began our training with the Sit Means Sit location in Cleveland, OH and we’re welcomed to join the Sit Means Sit family here in Wilmington by Shawn. My dog absolutely adores him and loves attending his weekly group classes. They are engaging and Shawn does a wonderful job walking us through how to do the activities. It’s taken time and consistency, but we now have a lovely, friendly, and confident pup thank to Sit Means Sit. It was worth every penny and we will certainly be taking our next dog through Sit Means Sit training with Shawn. We are customers for life!

Our lab/retriever mix Phoebe was notorious for counter surfing and had no real boundaries. We finally got fed up and Sit Means Sit really turned it all around for us! Shawn is super knowledgeable and customized all the training to meet Phoebe’s needs. We’ve seen such a vast improvement in only 3 weeks of training and we have months more group classes to go! We’re so glad we went with Sit Means Sit Wilmington!!! Worth every penny 👏🏼
