Get the Best Dog Aggression Training in Chicago

All programs are tailored to your needs. The descriptions are to give you an idea of what can be accomplished and in what time frame. In-person lessons are now held at Oz Park (the busiest park in Chicago) for real results in a real environment or at our facility (don’t worry, our training carries over in all environments). All consultations, training sessions, and Zooms are also filmed and uploaded to our YouTube for reference.

Many people and dog trainers believe that an aggressive dog cannot be rehabilitated and that the only options are to euthanize them or keep them shut out from the rest of the world. That is true if you do not have the knowledge and insight into dog behavior required to rehabilitate aggressive dogs.

Those are the very same people that will blame your dog’s breed for their behavior. But the breed has nothing to do with the aggression; any dog of any breed can be aggressive in any type of context. I’ve worked with everything from aggressive Goldendoodles to Chihuahuas to Cane Corsos to Pitbulls to Labradors and everything in-between.

Dog training is simple because it’s completely superficial. Any dog can be taught to sit and lay down using a variety of methods. But to rewire a dog to overcome its fear of people, or to build confidence in an anxious dog, or to take a dog that’s highly aggressive toward humans or dogs and bring them to a place where you can trust they won’t go into attack mode is a whole different realm that only a small percentage of canine professionals in the world occupy.

I am one of those professionals.

I’ve said this a million times and I’ll say it a million times more. A “PHD” or “certification” is nothing more than a piece of paper to wipe your ass with if you can’t get the results. 📝 💩

This is exactly why I choose not to take a “certification” test. It means nothing. My certification is 10 years of hands on experience, word of mouth referrals, and a business that continues grow each year.

FULL VIDEO ON YOUTUBE: Here’s the second approach to jumping and that is Preventative control. Intervention is I don’t care what you do, but don’t jump. Preventative control is the dog is under an Obedience command like Sit. The dog must have a solid concept of the command and respect it in order for it to prevent the jumping.
//
In this video when Lucy gets too excited she is corrected and she positions herself back into a sitting position. So if Lucy gets up or tries to jump she is corrected and she goes back into the position she was in previously.

Beau struggled with reactivity and in just 1 class we eliminated 99% of it.
//
Heel can be so impactful on a dog’s behavior which is why I almost always teach it first. It can fix 70-80% of problems including reactivity. Many avoid teaching this command because they simply don’t know how it works.
//
Heel is simple and easy to teach, it just takes the right methods with the right tool. As long as the owner follows my instructions, we almost always get results within a couple of weeks of training.

I’m an Expert Dog Aggression Trainer

I’ve met with countless households where they were told to euthanize their dog by every single trainer they met because the trainers thought there was no way to address the behavior. I rehabilitated those dogs.

I’ve helped families with dogs that were labeled as human- or dog-aggressive, acquired “a taste for blood” after a bite, and could no longer be trusted. I rehabilitated those dogs too.

I’ve assessed several aggressive dogs that were on anxiety medication for years that did nothing to help curb their behavior. With my training, they were removed from the medication and rehabilitated.

Training Aggressive Dogs Requires a Very Special Skillset

Aggression training is incredibly difficult because there are more variables to consider than just the dog. There’s the family, the individual personalities of each family member, the dog’s environment, the amount of time you can commit to training and whether or not you are mentally, emotionally and physically able to do the training. The list goes on.

That is why behavior training experts of my level are costly. My program now starts at $4,250 for 12 classes. My mentor Richard Heinz’s programs are in the several thousands range and every other professional of our caliber will be just as expensive. Granted, there may be a few trainers out there that do have the ability to provide aggression training and are just starting out (my rate used to be $25 a session!), but they are underpricing their talent, and sooner or later they’ll be in the higher-price bracket as well.

Length of time and price depends upon the severity of the behavior, the risk to myself, the length of time I believe will be required to complete the rehab and travel time. Most cases are done within 12 – 16 classes. I’ve had a few that took longer than anticipated, but they are rare.

“After our consultation with Jess, we knew right away that he knew what he was doing and would work hard to make sure we saw results with Joni. It only took the first session with Jess to see her behavior improve – it was almost a complete 180. Not only have her aggressive tendencies ceased, but she now walks leash-less and has 100% recall. Her hyperactivity and anxiety have subsided, and she is now such a happy and confident dog.
We cannot recommend Jess’s training services highly enough. He has taken the every day stress out of our relationship with Joni. We now feel 100% confident in her ability to listen and behave in any situation. Thank you, Jess!!!”

Owners Must Help Their Dogs Overcome Aggression

Can your dog learn to stop biting people? Yes.

Can your dog be trusted again? Yes.

Can your dog be social? Yes.

However, we also want to be realistic with our expectations.

For example, if I am working with a very confident dog who has a passive owner, I don’t want to tell the owner what they want to hear and make promises that may be difficult to follow through on. Can I stop the dog from actively seeking out people to bite? Yes. But since the owner lacks confidence, I will draw the line there and say I would not invite people to pet the dog without a muzzle because I am not confident in the owner’s capability to follow through on the amount of discipline needed.

The more work you are willing to do and are capable of doing, the more I can push the dog. It’s all about getting the dog into the right state of mind and empowering the owner with the confidence and knowledge required to address any situation that may come up because we can’t account for things that just happen up and out of the blue.

There are responsibilities that come with these cases though. The training never stops and it is a lifestyle. It is your responsibility to hold your dog to the standard that I bring them to once training is completed. Not only are you educated on your dog’s behavior, but, you get hands-on experience during the rehabilitation process to give you the confidence you need to keep your dog in check.
