Helping Dogs Feel Calm & Confident

Aggressive Dog Training in Tulsa, OK

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 Tulsa, OK.

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.

    We’ve had a great experience! David and Kristen helped me gain the confidence needed to help my rescue dog thrive! The private lessons were life savers. My dog is much happier, relaxed and more obedient. I’m thankful I invested in training that will make my dog successful for years to come.

    Kristin and David were incredible with training Annie. We had such a great experience and she picked up their commands so fast. I learned so much from them . I can't thank Dog Training Elite enough for everything they taught us both. I highly recommend them.

    I have had the most amazing experience with Dog Training Elite. We have trained with Kristen and her husband David as well as Paul for service dog training! They are very knowledgeable, kind, light hearted people and we couldn’t have completed this journey without them! Highly recommend!

    We have gone through puppy, obedience, and now service dog training with Dog Training Elite in Tulsa, Oklahoma. They are amazing to work with, extremely helpful, and very knowledgeable! I love that they do in-home training, and group classes in public places! Having both formats has been a game changer!

    I adopted my dog from the shelter, and took her to the 5 day board and train program. I was a little skeptical about breaking up the days, but I have to admit I was thoroughly impressed with their training plan. It set my dog up for success outside of the classes. 10/10 highly recommended.

    We LOVE Dog Training Elite!! My husband and I adopted a German shepherd/Great Pyrenees when he was 4 months old, and enrolled him in Dog Training Elite’s obedience/therapy training when he was 2 years old with the intention of him becoming a therapy dog. Our training started around May of 2025, he passed obedience training that Summer, and then began work on his therapy training. He passed in October and has been working as the therapy dog at an elementary school since! Elite provides group training which is incredible and extremely instrumental in his success.

    Hands down, this was a wonderful experience. The team is incredibly professional, caring, and supportive. The level of support offered while working with Dog Training Elite was amazing. Anytime I had a question during training, I could reach out and receive a timely response. They were also very accommodating with my busy and demanding schedule, which made the entire process much easier. I have already recommended them several times and will continue to do so. Our service dog receives so much praise when we are out in public. While he is naturally a great dog, his success truly started with their training. In fact, another trainer from a different company was so impressed by his age ( only 8months old) and how well he was trained that he asked who had done the training. That alone speaks volumes. Thank you again for everything you have done for us and for helping train such an amazing service dog for my husband. We are incredibly grateful.

    Trainers are very knowledgeable and the access to group classes as apart of the program is great. My dog is in service dog training and the trainers are there to help along the way but you also have to be committed to consistently training your dog as well.

    I cannot say enough amazing things about Dog Training Elite. I was really nervous to sign up for the service dog program. Kristin has been here for us every step of the way. From assisting me in picking out the correct breed and temperament for what I needed to answering my frantic text messages in between training sessions. She has been amazing. I would highly recommend this program.

    We’ve had such a great experience with Dog Training Elite as they’ve been working with our dog, Eevee, to become an autism service dog for our 4-year-old son. From day one, they’ve been incredibly detailed, professional, and compassionate. They truly understand the unique needs of families with children on the spectrum and have tailored Eevee’s training to support our son in the best way possible. Kristin and David have been absolutely amazing. They’re patient, knowledgeable, and genuinely passionate about what they do. They’ve taken the time to explain everything clearly and always show up with encouragement and support. We’ve seen such real progress in Eevee’s skills and behavior, and it’s been incredible to see the bond growing between her and our son. If you’re looking for dedicated trainers who go above and beyond—especially for autism-related service training—Kristin, David, and the Dog Training Elite team are the ones to call!

    Before beginning training my German Shepherd, Trixie, was out of control. Not aggressive, but misbehaving and not minding me at all. She was jumping on guests and I couldn't walk her down the street. I was amazed how much progress was made in just the first visit. After the second visit I was walking her around the block and by the 4th we could start having company again. We're looking forward to our first group class and meeting other dogs as well as going shopping together. Best decision I ever made and I highly recommend. A well behaved dog is the best kind of friend. Hope to see you and your best friend in a group class soon. UPDATE: We're about 6 months in and Trixie is going to the park and even shopping with me at places like Lowe's and Bass Pro. She minds very well now but before working with Elite I was totally overwhelmed and unsure I'd be able to handle her at all. Now she's almost 90lbs and being in control of her is a must. I was anxious the first time we met the group class at Bass Pro, not confident at all in this new place that she wouldn't totally embarrass me but that was not the case at all. Because of everything she had already learned so well her attention was on me and following commands. I'm more confident in her every day and she in me probably. Elite was the key to getting us on the right track.

    I love Dog Training Elite! They have been so wonderful and helpful! Whether its helping to decide which packages work for your finances or needing a little extra advice in-between classes. Copper graduated basic obedience recently, and after some more practice along with public access, we'll be well on our way to psychiatric service dog training. I'm very happy with the way training is going.

    My Doodle has passed the Obedient training with Elite Training. They were easy to work with, and made each task obtainable for both of us. Now Honey is working to be Certified Service Dog for me. I am so happy. This is all done in a very short time. They have a Great day care and Boarding too

Our Personalized Aggressive Dog Behavior Training

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.
