Reactivity & Aggression

At Wishes and Wags, we understand that reactivity and aggression can be emotionally overwhelming — even heartbreaking — for pet parents. These behaviors are often complex and rarely have a quick “fix,” but with thoughtful obedience training and effective management strategies, there can be hope for meaningful improvement.

One of our greatest passions is helping pet parents understand why their dog behaves the way they do, and guiding them toward a positive, informed approach that improves quality of life for both dog and family.

Anxiety

Canine anxiety can have many causes, and — like other complex behaviors — there’s no one-step solution. It’s especially common in rescue and shelter dogs, who may carry past experiences that influence their current behavior.

Forms of anxiety, such as separation or isolation anxiety, can lead to challenging behaviors at home. Our trainer works with you to identify the causes and provides practical, compassionate strategies to manage and improve your dog’s well-being over time. There can be hope for meaningful improvement to quality of life for both dog and family.
