Professional Dog Aggression Training in Gilbert, AZ

Expert Dog Aggression Training and Behavior Development Services

Off Leash K9 Training of Phoenix provides dog aggression training services for dog owners in Gilbert and surrounding Phoenix-area communities. The eight-week Aggressive Dog Training program specifically addresses aggression or reactivity involving other dogs, while Aggression Board & Train provides an immersive option for dogs with aggression issues.

Program recommendations depend on the dog’s age, health, temperament, behavior, training history, aggression triggers, and the owner’s goals. The free phone consultation gives owners an opportunity to discuss the lesson-based and immersive aggression programs.

Foundational obedience and puppy programs are also available, but they should not automatically be treated as substitutes for aggression-focused training. Owners should disclose aggressive or reactive behavior during the consultation rather than enrolling in a standard obedience program without discussing the concern.

Our Dog Aggression Training Services

Aggressive Dog Training

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 program includes the Basic Obedience curriculum and additional lessons involving the owner and dog working around other dogs in different scenarios. Its listed purpose is to provide owners with skills, tools, and desensitization techniques that may improve control.

The company states that fixes for major behavioral issues cannot be guaranteed. Progress depends on the dog’s behavior, training history, triggers, and the owner’s follow-through.

Aggression Board & Train

Aggression Board & Train includes two weeks of immersive training while the dog boards with a professional trainer, followed by four additional weekly lessons addressing aggression issues.

Its six listed commands are:

  • Sit and Extended Sit
  • Place and Extended Place
  • Heel with on-leash walking
  • Down and Extended Down
  • Down from Distance
  • Off

The program also includes work around multiple distractions in multiple environments, greeting, door, and meal manners, an e-collar, a training leash, and a two-hour owner session.

Fixes for major behavioral issues, including dog or people aggression, cannot be guaranteed. The program is intended to improve control and help owners manage those issues more effectively.

Basic Obedience

Basic Obedience is a four-week program with four private lessons. Its curriculum includes:

  • Come
  • Sit and Extended Sit
  • Down and Extended Down
  • Place and Extended Place
  • Loose-Leash Heel
  • Off

It includes an e-collar and a 15-foot leash. Basic Obedience should not automatically be presented as appropriate for aggression. Owners should discuss aggressive or reactive behavior during the consultation so the team can explain whether an aggression-focused program is needed.

Basic + Advanced

Basic + Advanced is an eight-week program with eight private lessons. The first four lessons cover the Basic Obedience curriculum, while the final four introduce advanced commands and extended-distance work.

This is an obedience program, not an aggression-specific service. Owners should not assume that completing advanced obedience will eliminate aggressive behavior or replace appropriate management.



Standard Two-Week Board & Train

The standard Two-Week Board & Train focuses on obedience, off-leash recall, manners, and working around distractions. It includes an e-collar and a two-hour owner session.

The standard program should not automatically be recommended for aggression based on an assumed severity level. The Phoenix team offers a separate Aggression Board & Train for dogs with aggression issues.
