The first evaluation is billed per hour then an estimate for a package customized to address this behavior will be discussed at the end of the evaluation.
Fearful and aggressive behavior may be a result of (1) inadequate socialization and positive training during the primary socialization period of 6 to 20 weeks of age; (2) abusive, forceful "alpha" style training, to include the INAPPROPRIATE use of shock collars, prong collars and choke chains; (3) traumatic events in the dog's life, including stress and violence in the household, being attacked by another dog and more.
Expect a minimum of 10 sessions or more depending on the level of modification needed for success
