I am trainer with Tug Dogs. I began my "training" path with Tug Dogs in 2016 as a client, for my dog, Wyatt, that I adopted through a rescue. I have loved dogs my whole life.

At Sniffspot, we prioritize trust and expertise. Allison Daack, as well as the other dog trainers on this Aggressive dog training list, ensures they bring the highest standards of care and training to your dog. Allison Daack encourages owners with this dog training tip: I think it's really important to understand that animals live in the world we provide for them, if we want an animal's behavior to change, we need to expect that we will have to change as well. Maybe our routines, our perspective, how we interact with them, how we allow other people to interact with them, our investment of time and emotional labor, how we arrange the living room, how we hold the leash, how we give the dog treats, etc. We can't expect our dogs to change without us having to make some changes too.

I utilize positive based training methods without fear, coercion or force. I run a small training company and we work cases collaboratively to a degree so our clients can utilize a vast knowledge set. We offer a free initial screening for clients virtually, then our consultations are two 1hr appointments. The first is really a consultation, gathering information, making initial assessments, setting expectations and the training plan. The second, is an in person assessment where we begin to on board the training plan. After both appointments, we create consultation notes with a lot of great information for clients to reference summarizing those appointments. From there, we create custom training plans for all of our clients taking into consideration any important elements of their case. We do a lot of private in home training but will meet clients at appropriate locations, take clients from across the country utilizing virtual programs, utilize intensive day training programs to help offer clients a lot of support and help expedite training, these intensive plans could be in person, virtual, or a hybrid with varying levels of owner participation based on their needs. We also create pet sitting guides for clients, can maintain live training plans for clients to have an itemized training plan, offer support for the case while the client is out of town, etc. We also provide a lot of collaboration and support to our clients with their veterinarians, veterinarian behaviorists, or other places we can help! We also have a private Facebook group for clients with a lot of great information called The Daack Pack, webinars available on our website. Our website also includes a lot of great blogs and a recommendations page., while others like Jodi Cassell adopt:
Training with is initiated through a behavior consultation where I review your dog's history and behavior, provide education and management strategies, discuss and set training goals, and initiate training. I provide follow-up handouts and custom training plans that serve as reminders and homework. Follow-up sessions are scheduled individually or as a package based on client needs and goals. My training is force free (positive reinforcement), meaning I do not use methods that force a dog to perform a behavior. Rather, I teach dogs to perform a behavior using motivators like food. Research indicates that these methods work and do not risk the side effects of fear and aggression that can be caused my using compulsion-based training. I do not use tools that scare or cause pain in dogs.. Each approach is customized to suit local dogs.
I think it's really important to understand that animals live in the world we provide for them, if we want an animal's behavior to change, we need to expect that we will have to change as well.
