“Aggressive” is a label, not a personality trait. At Collie & Corso, we focus on understanding the specific behaviors your dog is displaying, such as growling, barking, snapping, or lunging, and what those behaviors are communicating. These are normal ways dogs respond when they feel stressed, conflicted, or unsure, and understanding the why behind the behavior is the first step toward meaningful change.

Yes, we work with dogs that have a bite history. Our first priority is establishing a comprehensive safety plan while gaining a clear understanding of the circumstances surrounding your dog's bite history. From there, we'll develop an individualized behavior plan designed to improve safety, build confidence, and support lasting behavior change for both you and your dog.

Every dog is unique, and behavior is influenced by factors such as health, genetics, learning history, environment, and individual temperament. Because of these variables, it would be unethical to guarantee a specific outcome. Our goal is to help you better understand your dog, improve safety, and create meaningful, lasting behavior change through an individualized training plan.

Yes. Virtual dog training is highly effective because lasting behavior change happens in your dog's everyday environment, not in a training facility. You'll receive personalized coaching, a customized behavior plan, and ongoing support to confidently implement training where it matters most: at home and in your daily life.

Every dog is different, and the timeline for behavior change depends on factors such as your dog's history, individual needs, and your training goals. During your complimentary 20-minute call, we'll discuss what the process may look like for you and your dog, what to expect, and how we'll work together to achieve meaningful, lasting progress.
