Aggression training
Program details
It is important to watch the dog’s body language. When it begins to show fear, Leonard will stop it in it’s tracks before it overwhelms the dog. If dogs aren’t allowed to consistently be in that fearful place, they don’t get a chance to practice being fearful. Once the fear goes away, the dog will be able to build confidence instead. Going unchecked, a fearful dog can easily turn into an dog aggression. Fearful behavior usually gets worse not better. However, with a little work, it can be corrected. Leonard has been a dog aggression trainer for over 30 years. There are no bad dogs.

5/5

I have a sweet, but very aggressive dachshund, who I have had since he was three months old. Shortly after he turned one, the aggression and disrespect started to happen. After researching online for professional help, I came across Leonard, with Dominant Dogs. I scheduled one on one training and met numerous times, over the course of a few weeks. I learned a lot from that training and was confident I had the information to lead my dog from there on out. For a few years I had Milo under control. He was not barking, and was listening to me very well. However, as time went on, his aggression came back. He was starting fights with other dogs on our walks, and he tried to bite house guests and neighbors. I contacted Leonard years later, asking for additional help. He worked with me again and got both Milo and I back on track. Immediately, following our training, Milo tried to test his boundaries with me. However, this time, I remained firm with him, and I can see his attitude has changed. He realizes I am the one in charge now, and he cannot run the house like before. What I learned from the repeat experience, was although I worked really hard to keep the training on point before, I didn't realize as life got busy and hectic, I started to slack off. A little bit here and there, eventually lead me back to where I started. Milo is such a smart dachshund, that he will jump at the opportunity to take over as the leader, if I allow him to. I also didn't realize the amount of affection makes a difference. If he isn't listening, I hold back on touching him. No hugs, kisses, or even a pat on the back. I control everything: when to eat, when to play, etc. I came out of the experience with a lot more knowledge and understanding of how I need to be, in order to meet what my dog needs, to be calm and balanced. If I am not confident, he won't feel comfortable allowing me to lead. Thank you Leonard! I am so grateful for all your help! -Joy Sherman Oaks, CA

Leonard is a MASTER of his craft, Extremely dedicated and passionate about his work. Our dog Rex was returned to us calm, attentive and eager to please. Leonard has given us the tools to work with Rex and we are not only ecstatic but thankful for all his efforts. I would recommend his services for anyone in need of assistance with their pets.
