At Dark Shadows Canine, we specialize in working with dogs of all temperaments—including those exhibiting aggression toward people, other dogs, or environmental triggers. Aggressive behavior requires additional time, structure, and hands-on management to ensure safe and effective training.

For dogs with aggression issues, our standard programs are extended to allow proper desensitization, confidence building, and behavior modification.

If your dog is enrolled in our On-Leash Obedience program and displays aggressive behavior, the program will be extended to 5 weeks total at a cost of $5,500.

If you choose our Advanced Off-Leash Obedience program for an aggressive dog, the program will be extended to 8 weeks total at a cost of $8,500.

This additional time ensures we can address the root of the behavior, work through real-world triggers, and create lasting behavioral change. Our goal is not only to train your dog, but to help restore trust, control, and peace of mind—for both you and your dog.
