Dealing with dog aggression can be stressful. This is a support group for owners dealing with their aggressive dogs. Many groups talk about training, but the extent of your effort and compliance to a good treatment program is the most critical factor determining the success in treating your dog's aggression.

We invite you to share your experiences dealing with your dog; with aggressive episodes or with good or bad trainers, behaviorists and consultants. Sometimes an encouraging word is enough to give you the strength you need to help your dog. Sharing your aggressive dog experiences can relieve the burden and helps others.

Because we are dealing with a wide range of dog aggression problems on this list, we don't want to accept any endorsements, recommendations or suggestions for using any potential pain based correction or punishment methods, such as choke collars, prong collars, e-collars etc., as the use of these methods can make some aggression issues worse for some dogs.

However, we do not accept judgments on this list. We aim to keep this list a safe place. Any flamers will be banned - no explanation. Any trainer self-promotion will not be tolerated.
