Helping Dogs Feel Calm & Confident

Aggressive Dog Training in Orlando, FL

One of the most difficult, necessary, and rewarding behaviors to correct in a dog is anxiety and aggression. These behaviors can be learned, genetic, or innate. When a dog feels threatened, their natural response is either fight or flight.

Most dogs will try to distance themselves from the perceived threat; if that's not possible, they may resort to aggression or submission. Some dogs, particularly those who see themselves as confident pack leaders, may turn to aggression as their first response.

Both of these reactions are rooted in anxiety and can be effectively addressed with Dog Training Elite's balanced aggressive dog training in Orlando, FL.

Understanding Aggressive Behaviors in Dogs


Read More
Read Less

Aggression is one of the most concerning behaviors your dog can exhibit. If left unchecked, an aggressive dog can pose a serious threat to family members, strangers, other dogs, or even themselves.

Many dog owners struggle with how to recognize early warning signs of aggression or how to effectively address these tendencies. Identifying and managing aggressive behavior early on is crucial in preventing it from escalating into more dangerous situations.

Common signs of aggression in dogs include:

  • Growling or bearing teeth
  • Threatening barks
  • Standing rigid and/or taller
  • Raised fur
  • Nipping and biting

Aggression often stems from underlying issues like fear, anxiety, improper training, or negative environments. Dogs that have been rescued from poor situations or found on the street are particularly susceptible to developing aggressive behaviors.

At Dog Training Elite, we specialize in professional dog training for aggression, helping your dog transform from fearful or aggressive to a happy, friendly, and loyal companion.

    Craig was hired to turn our 2 year old Mini Goldendoodle into a service dog specifically so he could fly back and forth cross country with my daughter. Craig was amazing, friendly, professional, flexible and worth every cent. Our boy had his first flight yesterday from orlando to LA and did perfect! He got so many compliments on his well behaved demeanor and even the flight attendants said they forgot there was a dog onboard! Everyone wanted to know who his trainer was and we were happy to refer them to Craig! Thanks so much Craig- you changed our lives.

    Dog Training Elite Orlando is amazing. Maria help me with everything we had talked about in the 1st evaluation and we worked all the way though to pass our service dog test. I am super happy with Dog Training Elite and would recommend anyone in the Orlando area to use them for any of your dog training needs.

    Maria & Cheyenne were amazing! They really understood Apollo and knew exactly what he and I needed to have a better life. They stuck it out with his aggression & stubbornness. Apollo even really likes Maria now. It's such a change. He seems so much happier. He's still stubborn and hard headed but that's just who he is. They gave me all the tools I need to continue working with him. It's encouraging to know that we have group classes and access to help for the rest of his life. They aren't leaving us now that the personal one on one training is done. I would recommend them to anyone. They are the absolute best and their heart shows through every step.

    We started training our rescue 2 years ago. Knowing I was looking for a service dog, the team came with me to the shelter to help evaluate potential candidates. From day one their team has been incredible. I've gotten to see my dog grow from a crazy puppy to an amazing service dog. Everyone has been incredible and works so hard to help you in any way they can. An amazing organization doing incredible things!

    We couldn’t say enough wonderful things about Dog Training Elite North Orlando, Craig and his team. Our mini bernedoodle, Koa started with the in-home puppy training program at 12wks where all training was individualized to him and us (we needed training too 😉). We have seen tremendous changes in Koa’s at home and social obedience commands and look forward to continuing to work with Craig and his team to have him Therapy Dog certified. From basic obedience training to intensive therapy dog training, Elite Dog Training North Orlando is our trusted partner in all our dog training needs.

    Maria was life changing for us and our dogs! We rescued two pups, Maverick and Goose, that were bonded and started getting into fights 6 months after we got them. Maria came in and taught us how to provide better structure for them to thrive, become more confident, and even just enjoy being young pups instead of consistently in a fight or flight mode. We are so grateful to Maria and the team, and highly recommend this program to anyone and everyone.

    Chelsea and Cheyenne were attentive to our dog needs since the very beginning, and have carried out the 10 days camp training prioritizing things: Brownie Fox, our young Pomeranian, is now much better in terms of behavior and obedience, and on a much better shape to continue the learning curve! Thank you and truly recommended!

    We had a wonderful experience with Dog training Elite North Orlando. We adopted a 4 year old rescue that had some reactivity after being abandoned and stuck in the shelter for 6 months, and she is also incredibly excitable. Craig and Miriam helped us understand her and even our other dog better, and taught us how to work with and train them! She’s so much better now and we are way better equipped to give her a great life. I’d definitely recommend them!

    Craig has helped me to train my 8 month old Heavapoo. She now gets in her create and I can leave her there while I go out. I live in a Condo so barking could be a problem. She now responds to quiet. Could not have done this without help. Highly recommend Dog training Elite.

Our Personalized Aggressive Dog Behavior Training

Read More
Read Less

At Dog Training Elite, we understand that every dog is unique, and we have developed a comprehensive training program specifically to eliminate aggressive behaviors across various breeds.

  1. Initial In-Home Assessment: We begin with a free in-home assessment where we meet your dog to understand the underlying causes of their aggression, anxiety, or fears. During this session, we identify triggers and gather the necessary information to develop a personalized training plan.
  2. Personalized Training Plan Development: Based on the assessment, we create a customized training program tailored to your dog’s specific needs. This plan targets the unique behaviors and triggers that contribute to their aggression.
  3. Building Confidence and Establishing Leadership: Our trainers work closely with you to establish your role as the pack leader in your home. For fearful and anxious dogs, we focus on building confidence and reducing the fears that trigger aggressive behavior.
  4. Desensitization and Obedience Training: For overly aggressive dogs, we use desensitization techniques to reduce reactivity to triggers and anxieties. Obedience training are key components of this stage.
  5. Group Class Integration: Once your dog reaches a safe baseline of obedience, we gradually introduce them to group class settings. These classes are designed to help your dog reintegrate into social environments successfully. For safety, a muzzle is required during these sessions to protect all dogs involved.
  6. Ongoing Support and Reinforcement: We continue to support you and your dog throughout the training process, offering guidance and reinforcement to ensure lasting success. Our goal is to help your dog become a loving, loyal, and well-behaved member of your family.
