“Aggression in dogs is complex and often misunderstood. Dogs may resort to aggression when they feel there’s no other choice.”

We Make Meaningful Transformations
I almost decided to put my best friend down after him being declared a dangerous dog,
Richard gave me hope and walked me through the overwhelming process of owning a dangerous dog.
Richard explained how his aggression was anxiety now we are living a more peaceful life thanks to dog tech.
For those at their wits’ end with a dog who seems out of control – please contact Richard! Our 2 year old German Shepherd has been increasingly agitated over strangers coming into the house. He rushed out into the driveway when a mobile mechanic was over, who got spooked and hit him twice on the head. Our dog ended up biting his arm resulting in 2 puncture wounds. The shock over his behaviour and the stress of dealing with the council drove us to contact Richard. He helped us through it every step of the way – we had two 3-hour sessions with him where he advised us on how to approach the council and what to expect, as well as working with our dog. His understanding of dog behaviour is incredible. He figured out why our dog was agitated and aggressive and implemented a training plan around rebuilding our relationship with him so that he feels more secure and confident. He also outlined the immediate steps we should take to maximise our chances of our dog’s sentence from the council (dog bites can cause him to be labelled as a dangerous or menace dog, as well as hefty fines in the tens of thousands). Following his advice, our dog was not labelled a dangerous or menace dog. Even if he had been, Richard assured us that we would work through it together. Our dog has been more calm than he has been since he was a puppy. Thank you for giving us the confidence and ease of mind that life with our dog doesn’t need to be stressful and anxiety-inducing!
