Aggressive Dog Training is an eight-week program with eight private lessons. It is specifically intended for dogs with aggression or reactivity involving other dogs.

The standard Two-Week Board & Train provides two weeks of immersive training while the dog boards with a professional trainer. It may suit owners who prefer concentrated professional training followed by an owner handoff session.

The program focuses on building the obedience and reliability needed for therapy work. Upon successful completion, the Phoenix team states that it can evaluate and certify the owner and dog through Therapy Pets Unlimited.

Program completion does not guarantee certification. Owners should also confirm any separate requirements imposed by facilities or organizations where they intend to volunteer.

Visit the plans and pricing page for current program details, eligibility requirements, included equipment, and availability.

Realistic Expectations for Dog Training

Individual results depend on the dog, the selected program, the behavior concerns involved, and the owner’s continued practice. Professional training can introduce commands, handling techniques, and clearer expectations, but owners must maintain those skills after the program.

No program should be represented as a guaranteed cure for fear, anxiety, aggression, or other complex behavior concerns. The standard Board & Train’s published guarantee language applies to its listed commands and should not automatically be extended to other programs.

Off-leash skills do not remove an owner’s responsibility to follow applicable rules, evaluate the surroundings, and consider the dog’s reliability and potential risks.
