One of the most difficult, necessary, and rewarding behaviors to correct in a dog is anxiety and aggression. Anxiety and aggression are behaviors that can be learned, genetic, or innate. When a dog feels threatened, the two natural responses will be fight or flight. Most dogs will attempt to put as much distance between themselves and the threat; if the threat remains they will then turn to aggression or submit. Other dogs are overly confident pack leaders and will turn first to aggression. Both of these reactions stem from anxiety and can be fixed with a balanced, positive aggressive dog training in Charlotte.
Dog Training Elite Charlotte behavior modification process is highly personalized. We work to empower owners as they work alongside our professional dog trainers in Charlotte to build confidence and understanding in their dogs. We work with owners in their home to slowly retrain a dog’s reactions to stressful situations and then work to integrate them back into the community.

Our Aggressive Dog Behavior Training Process
We will first meet the dog in a free in-home assessment to gain an understanding of the reasons for the aggression, anxiety, or fears. We will assess triggers and build a personalized training program for each unique dog and targeting their specific behavior. For fearful and anxious dogs, our trainers will work alongside owners to build confidence.
For overly aggressive dogs, training will help owners establish a pack leader position in the home. We will work to desensitize a dog to their biggest triggers and anxiety and when the dog has reached a safe baseline obedience level in these situations we then introduce them to our class settings. A muzzle is required for class settings to ensure the safety of all dogs as these classroom settings are designed to integrate the dog back into social settings successfully.

Our Balanced Theory
We base our training around the "Classical Conditioning" model (a.k.a. "Pavlovian" or "respondent conditioning"). This includes developing conditioned or automatic reflexes to commands. In its simplest form (after proper conditioning), when the owner says "sit," the dog automatically sits without thinking about it. Our unique techniques ensure our program is a success no matter what behavior we encounter.

Such an amazing group! Our 11 month puppy was jumping on counters and barking nonstop, and they had him doing world’s better after just one session. They really focus on training the dog and the owner while building the dog/human relationship. In addition, they always made sure we felt comfortable with the training during all new tricks. They were very responsive in between sessions if we had any questions or concerns, and you can tell they truly love dogs. We can’t recommend this group enough.— Kristin Stockdale

We are 100% satisfied with the results of working with DTE Charlotte. Our dog has transformed completely in just 2 short weeks! He has become more confident, happier, and of course more obedient. DTE picked our dog up and worked with him throughout the day. When they dropped him off, they taught us how to continue the training at home. They don’t just train your dog to listen to them. They help your dog learn to trust you and to listen to you. We used to be scared to bring our dog around a stranger’s dog. Now we bring him to breweries and dog parks without hesitation, and he listens to us without thinking twice. We found this program to be the best bang for our buck in the area and we definitely made the best choice. We would absolutely recommend this company to a friend, and we cannot wait to see how our dog continues to progress during the rest of our in-home and group sessions!— Mackenzie Bolduc

I must say, we were a little skeptical about training an 8 week puppy because we weren't sure if it was worth it. I was so glad our breeder recommend DTE Charlotte! They were absolutely amazing and loved the communication and the daily updates! It made the transition of bringing a brand new puppy home much easier. I would 1000% recommend them to friends and family.— Benjamin Santos

I love the day camp! They came to pick up my dog before I went to work, and she got dropped off after work. Super convenient! I was definitely impressed, even on day one with how my pup came back a more confident and obedient dog. Money well spent!— Jess W
