Which Behaviors Can Private Dog Training Address?

Our private dog training programs tackle a variety of behavior challenges, from puppy basics to issues like separation anxiety. And training at home brings the lessons to your dog’s home turf where they are comfortable and familiar. Here’s what we can help you work through:

Aggression: with other dogs and people or out of fear
Managing anxiety: separation anxiety, phobias, and crate anxiety

What Is a Service Dog? 🐕‍🦺

A service dog helps a person with a disability to lead a more independent life. According to the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA), a service dog is “a dog that is individually trained to do work or perform tasks for a person with a disability.”

“Disability” is defined by the ADA as a physical or mental impairment that substantially limits one or more major life activities, including people with history of such an impairment, and people perceived by others as having such an impairment. The ADA prohibits discrimination on the basis of disability in employment, state and local government, public accommodations, commercial facilities, transportation, and telecommunications.

How was Canine Trade Group Formed?

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 years of John’s dog training expertise, which he has passed on to each and every one of his trainers. And all of those trainers are certified, connected, and easy for clients to find thanks to the creation of Canine Trade Group!

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).
