3: AGGRESSION REHABILITATION

Talk about stress. Owning a dog with a history of aggressive behaviour is next-level stress and a huge liability. In some cases, we can tame your wild beast, and they will return to their earlier social self. Some dogs we’ve worked with in this program are able to frequent dog parks, and others need to be a little more specific about what they can and can not do with their dog.

The truth is, some dogs are just not social with humans, or dogs, or both. We can’t force your dog to be social, but we can make damn sure they are safe and controlled. In these cases, it’s our job to help you override your dog's aggressive tendencies and build into them an insane amount of impulse control and obedience. Think of impulse control as (a dog doing what you want instead of what they want) 

The future for your dog can be bright in 95% of cases, even if they are being medicated for their behavioural issues. Reactive and aggressive dogs are our specialty at Mango Dogs, and we’ve helped thousands of dogs just like yours. We’ll show you what to do and when to do it, but you have to do the work over the long term. You can’t use our techniques and tools for a few weeks or a few months and stop cold turkey without your dog reverting back. There is NO way to help an aggressive dog that doesn't involve the dog owner putting in the time over the long term. 

This program starts with 4-5 private lessons, one per week for 4 or 5 weeks, and then progress into group classes that we hold every Saturday in Halifax at 1 pm. Group classes are then provided for 12 months to help you maintain all of your awesome new results. We use an ecollar in this program, and it will be included in the cost of your program.

..."As a last-ditch effort, we Googled “dog aggression trainer HRM” and Mango Dogs was one of the options. Contacting Mango Dogs literally saved Jimmy’s life! We started working with Mango Dogs and it’s been amazing to see how Jimmy has learned and has grown from the training. He is now fully reintegrated back into our home and daily routine and his relationship with Colin has done a complete 180. We cannot say enough great things about what this training has meant to us and how supportive and helpful they have been. We can’t recommend the team at Mango Dogs enough!!!"
