Many trainers, behaviour specialists, veterinarians and others in the pet field will tell you, "the customer" what you WANT to hear. We at Morrison k-9 Development tell you what you HAVE to hear.

Dog aggression is a very serious problem, not only for the family that owns the dog but also for society in general. It is a complex, dangerous situation and needs to be corrected without delay.
 

Most dog trainers don't understand aggression. Some are afraid of aggressive dogs and will tell the owner to destroy the dog so the trainer doesn't have to deal with the problem. In 39 years of dog training, over 25,000 dogs, I have had to recommend that only 4 dogs be destroyed. Many say that they specialize in this subject, but in reality don't even understand it.

Morrison Canine Development specializes in this field and has some strong views on this subject. The vast majority of aggression is caused by you the owner. Brandy J. M Oliver, MA, states that if a dog has bitten someone, and especially if he has drawn blood, he has a much greater chance of repeating this action. THIS IS NOT CORRECT. It is incredible how many dogs are destroyed every year because the dog has bitten someone. Don't get me wrong... it is a serious offence and deserves to be corrected, but the behaviors can be solved without destroying the dog.

Aggressive behavior can be controlled through proper consultation and training techniques. Veterinarians are NOT trainers, and should not be consulted in cases of aggressive behavior. Most Veterinarians are NOT behavior specialists.

Muzzles don't stop aggression!

In many cases this only adds to the aggressive behavior. SOME trainers with little experience are not specialists. They simply have not been around enough dogs to get a good overall judgment of how to treat aggressive behavior.
