DOG - DOG AGGRESSION - An introduction to the common causes of an increasingly growing problem, dogs that show aggressive behaviour towards other dogs.

This workshop does not offer to fix aggressive behaviour but will help owners to recognise 'triggers' and implement safety strategies whilst professional assistance is sought.

Tru Nature workshops are structured to provide a fun, enthusiastic learning experience for anyone who wishes to acquire more in depth knowledge about dogs in general or address specific problems they are encountering with their dogs.
The topics covered are wide and varied offering something that everyone should find interesting and useful.
If there is any aspect of canine behaviour or training that is not covered in the workshops, please feel free to email us with your request and we will consider adding this into our workshop programme.
The workshops will occasionally include specialist guest speakers offering professional insight into various areas of canine care, health and training; full notes are also available to everyone attending.
Each of the subjects will be covered in depth, along with practical and realistic solutions to problems.
There will also be a troubleshooting section to provide information on possible reactions that may occur in response to new techniques and behaviour alterations. However, dogs are unpredictable and for this reason all clients attending Tru Nature's Specialised Workshops will receive 3 months follow up email support relative to the workshop attended.
This means that having learnt the techniques and steps to correcting any unwanted behaviours, or improving on already good behaviour, clients will be able email any questions or request further assistance with troubleshooting any problems which may arise related to the behaviours, training and techniques covered.
Our workshops are very much interactive and provide an intense learning session for the treatment of problem behaviours and training techniques.
Where dogs are to join in the workshop it is important that they are friendly with other dogs and people, dogs with any aggressive tendencies will not be able to attend but may benefit from a private behaviour consultation or one-to-one training session.
Please see the other sections in this website for information on those services.
