Managing Dog Aggression & Behaviour

Understand, prevent and safely manage aggressive and challenging dog behaviour

Aggression in dogs is one of the most misunderstood and feared behaviours — but it is almost always a form of communication. This course gives you the knowledge to understand what a dog is really telling you, recognise the early warning signs before a situation escalates, and respond in a way that keeps everyone safe. Whether you're a pet owner dealing with a reactive dog on the lead, or a professional pet worker encountering unfamiliar dogs every day, this course will give you the confidence and skills to handle challenging behaviour calmly and effectively. We cover the science behind aggression, body language, trigger stacking, management strategies, and when to seek professional help.
