Dog on dog aggression or “dog fights” most commonly stem from two instincts in dogs. These instincts can be categorized into: the will to be dominate and fear. If you own multiple dogs, and one dog demonstrates aggression towards one of your other dogs, they are most likely trying to be dominant. The dog exhibiting dominant behavior wants to be seen as the leader of the pack and aggression is an effective way for them to establish themselves.

However, if the trigger is a strange dog walking by or at the park, your dog could be trying to show dominance, or it may feel threatened for its safety or the safety of his home/family (which he would view as pack mates).

Although this aggression may never be meant to hurt people or the other dog, unfortunately it often does. There are hundreds, possibly thousands, of stories of owners or children getting injured because they were trying to break up the fight between dogs or were simply in the way of the attacking dog.

A dog showing signs of dog aggression often escalates into something more serious and more dangerous. Get help now!

Our training programs always cover training in public. We start inside the home with limited distractions and gradually, we work outside of the home to proof our training and skills.

The goal with our training program is for you to have a well-trained dog inside and outside of the home. 🐾💚

When it comes to dog training, there is a very important component to the process. THE OWNER!

Whether you do in-home training, group classes, or boarding and training, owner involvement and follow through is the only way to guarantee lasting results.

Training with us means we’ll ensure your dog is trained and you know how to communicate with them so you can see lasting behavioral change. ❤️

Never rush your dog through training, when you rush training, you can risk your dog regressing. Regressing will just take you backwards in your training journey.

Training takes time and we want your dog to have the skills and a have a good foundation instead of just rushing to reach goals.

The Canine Trade Group dog training program was designed by dog trainer expert John Van Olden, who has cultivated a lifetime love of dogs. He began as a military police dog trainer/handler, and even after retirement, he knew he wanted to continue working with man’s best friend. He went on to develop K-9 Advantage, the first franchise in the country featuring dog trainers, and he co-founded PAWSitive Solutions, a highly successful west coast training company.

Soon enough, Canine Trade Group was born. He knew there was a need for consistent, reliable, and effective dog training in every city and in every state throughout the country—even beyond! Canine Trade Group’s reward-based training program culminates nearly thirty-five years of John’s dog training expertise, which he has passed on to each and every one of his trainers. And all those trainers are certified, connected, and easy for clients to find thanks to the creation of Canine Trade Group!
