Dog Training for People Aggression

Fearful pitbull training
Lacey is a wonderful pitbull mix that is very friendly but a little fearful. Her fear manifests itself as aggression. Today we exercised her brain getting her to think and hold herself back before reacting to things that scare her.

Lacey is an excitable, but fearful dog. She is incredibly sweet once she gets to know you. Her owners have used a shock collar on her in the past from a previous trainer. However, they are having work done on their home and Lacey has always been slightly weary and fearful of the man doing the work. One time her owner used the shock collar on her to correct her around the worker, which has resulted in Lacey associating the worker with the shock. Now, whenever he is around, she tries to go after him.

Today her owner and I started working with her in a non-physical approach and she did amazing. They are going to have work done around the house for a few more months and will be working with the worker in a safe manner so no one gets hurt.

She and her owner did fantastic!!!
