A Pleasant Dog is THE PLACE TO GO for reactive and scared or aggressive dogs. Our trainers have been working for over thirty years with dogs just like yours, making meaningful, substantive progress, and helping dogs and their owners not just survive but thrive.
Here's what we offer to parents and their pups:
private consultation
In your initial consult, your trainer will take a thorough history to learn where you’ve been, what you’ve tried, what has worked and hasn’t. Based on that history, together we will craft a written management and training plan taking into consideration safety and behavior modification, all using positive reinforcement and evidence based strategies. You’ll also work together to begin foundation skills for training and management including marker training, auto check-ins, counterconditioning, and operant conditioning of new skills; or work together to polish the skills you already have. Interdog aggression consultations typically involve a session of 90-180 minutes and may involve an investment of $250-$450 depending upon the number of dogs involved. Please call us for a customized quote for your family.

veterinarian consults
Need a trainer to consult with your veterinarian? We do that too. Need a referral to a board certified veterinary behaviorist? We can do that. We are one of the few training facilities in the country to share space with a veterinary behaviorist and enjoy a close working relationship with Dr. Jill Sackman of Animal Behavior Consultants of Michigan.
Together we work closely to help dogs who could benefit from the combination of medical treatment for anxiety and behavior modification through training.
reactive dogs
We currently offer several different group class options for our reactive friends! Check out our GROUP CLASSES pages to see those classes!
