Helping Dogs Feel Calm & Confident

Aggressive Dog Training in Clarksville, TN

One of the most difficult, necessary, and rewarding behaviors to correct in a dog is anxiety and aggression. These behaviors can be learned, genetic, or innate. When a dog feels threatened, their natural response is either fight or flight.

Most dogs will try to distance themselves from the perceived threat; if that's not possible, they may resort to aggression or submission. Some dogs, particularly those who see themselves as confident pack leaders, may turn to aggression as their first response.

Both of these reactions are rooted in anxiety and can be effectively addressed with Dog Training Elite's balanced aggressive dog training in Clarksville, TN.

Understanding Aggressive Behaviors in Dogs


Read More
Read Less

Aggression is one of the most concerning behaviors your dog can exhibit. If left unchecked, an aggressive dog can pose a serious threat to family members, strangers, other dogs, or even themselves.

Many dog owners struggle with how to recognize early warning signs of aggression or how to effectively address these tendencies. Identifying and managing aggressive behavior early on is crucial in preventing it from escalating into more dangerous situations.

Common signs of aggression in dogs include:

  • Growling or bearing teeth
  • Threatening barks
  • Standing rigid and/or taller
  • Raised fur
  • Nipping and biting

Aggression often stems from underlying issues like fear, anxiety, improper training, or negative environments. Dogs that have been rescued from poor situations or found on the street are particularly susceptible to developing aggressive behaviors.

At Dog Training Elite, we specialize in professional dog training for aggression, helping your dog transform from fearful or aggressive to a happy, friendly, and loyal companion.

    Thank you so much to Dog Training Elite for helping me out with my crazy Randy. He was always very reactive towards men that would come into my apartment. After training, he seems way more comfortable with people coming to visit and more confident and secure in himself. I love my one on one sessions and the group class structure! Thank you!!

    Reina and her team are awesome! Millie has came so far in only a few short months. I went from not being able to walk her down the street without her barking to being able to walk her around the mall, dog park, etc with no issues. I highly recommend!

    I’ve never been so pleased with the improvement and my bound with my little girl. The crew at Dog Training Elite in Clarksville really helped me and my dog. They were able to get results for us even on day one. Basic commands were simple enough and they were able to show me how to get my puppy to sit, stay, and place on the very first session. Now I can even drop my leash and run away with her favorite toy and she won’t move a muscle. Walks are so enjoyable, not worrying if she will jump on someone. They were just so professional and took into consideration the nature of what I wanted my canine to be able to do. Dog Training Elite was able to meet all of my goals but took me and my dog training to a whole different level that I never thought possible. They are a must for anyone who wants to train their canine companions! Worth every penny in my book. I am looking forward to the future with Dog Training Elite.

    We had the best experience with Dog Training Elite with our Lab puppy. With this being our first dog we really weren’t sure how to train a dog much less get a puppy to stop biting but with the help of the head trainer Reina, it has been the difference between night and day with our puppy. She was great not only with him with all the trainings, but also with us showing us how to train, making sure we had what we needed to be effective without her. This program is definitely worth it!

    We worked with Reina and Montana. They were the perfect trainers. Willow our dog responded well to both. Today was our last one on one session at the mall. We are really happy with how well Willow followed directions.

    Working with Parker, Reina, and Montana has completely changed my dog! Before moving to Tennessee, I was worried Briar would never be able to become a service dog. She was very selective when listening, extremely stubborn, and wouldn't respond to commands. Almost a year later, she is an entirely different dog! She responds to her commands, walks well on and off leash, has passed her public access test, and is now a service dog in training! These trainers have not only helped to instill confidence in me as her handler, but in her as well! I am so blessed to have worked with these fantastic people, and I encourage anyone looking for a trainer to look no further and contact Dog Training Elite. Their trainers are kind, patient, communicative, and want to ensure you and your dog meet your goals. Words can't express how great working with Dog Training Elite has been! Don't walk but run to set up a consultation with them, you and your dog will be better for it!

    Reina has been the best trainer for our little guy. When he started you couldn’t even show him a picture of a dog without losing his puppy mind. Since we did Training Elite, he has been a different dog and even better around other dogs. Highly recommend and so very glad we used them and got her as a trainer.

    Montana helped me tremendously, get my dog under control and made it to where I can have my dog in my yard without a leash and her not run off.

    This is Kona she was a little fearful of using training tools at first but Montana helped me big time. She got her over her fear of them and made it a good learning experience that was very enjoyable for my girl!

    Got to work with Montana on some basic behavior for my new puppy Freja. I'm happy to say that whenever people meet Freja they always comment on how well she listens and behaves. I would recommend working with Montana to anyone, she is an excellent trainer. Will definitely seek her out for anymore help in the future.

    Montana helped shape my rambunctious heeler mix, Vanna, into a well rounded doggo by teaching her basic obedience. She was wonderful and very compassionate. You can tell she puts 100% into her work.

    Dog Training Elite has made a big impact on my dogs life. Before Dog Training Elite my dog Ranger was out of control. He was super anxious, and destructive. Parker was able to train my dog to be calm and confident. I was hesitant that my dogs personality would change. However, Ranger is still his goofy self, but now listens and is enjoyable to be around. Thank you Dog Training Elite

    This training experience with Reina has been amazing! Reina helped not only me and my husband but our dog Harley as well. Before trining Harley was pulling on the leash hard enough to pull me down. Now he doesn’t pull on the leash at all. His confidence in himself has increased and he has become a happier dog because of it. Without this training we would not have been able to reach the goals that we did. Highly recommend!!

Our Personalized Aggressive Dog Behavior Training

At Dog Training Elite, we understand that every dog is unique, and we have developed a comprehensive training program specifically to eliminate aggressive behaviors across various breeds.

  1. Initial In-Home Assessment: We begin with a free in-home assessment where we meet your dog to understand the underlying causes of their aggression, anxiety, or fears. During this session, we identify triggers and gather the necessary information to develop a personalized training plan.
  2. Personalized Training Plan Development: Based on the assessment, we create a customized training program tailored to your dog’s specific needs. This plan targets the unique behaviors and triggers that contribute to their aggression.
  3. Building Confidence and Establishing Leadership: Our trainers work closely with you to establish your role as the pack leader in your home. For fearful and anxious dogs, we focus on building confidence and reducing the fears that trigger aggressive behavior.
  4. Desensitization and Obedience Training: For overly aggressive dogs, we use desensitization techniques to reduce reactivity to triggers and anxieties. Obedience training are key components of this stage.
  5. Group Class Integration: Once your dog reaches a safe baseline of obedience, we gradually introduce them to group class settings. These classes are designed to help your dog reintegrate into social environments successfully. For safety, a muzzle is required during these sessions to protect all dogs involved.
  6. Ongoing Support and Reinforcement: We continue to support you and your dog throughout the training process, offering guidance and reinforcement to ensure lasting success. Our goal is to help your dog become a loving, loyal, and well-behaved member of your family.
