Aggression in Dogs 2025 Conference

This year was full of valuable information. Some of the speakers I have heard of, but it was good to see new people up to speak. I hear there is change coming and there will be a new conference created and bringing more organizations together.

Michael Shikashio CDBC and founder of Aggression in Dogs Master Course started up the conference: From Conflict to Connections: Lessons Learned from a Life of Aggression Cases. This was a powerful start up!

I am not used to sitting for longs hours, but this was so worth it. Twenty-four hours packed with good speakers.

I enjoy learning and putting more into my dog trainer's toolbox. The fact that every dog is an individual and I understand to work with the dog in front of me, keeps me focused on each case.

Aggression is like an umbrella term and that is why I ask questions when someone contacts me.

Aggression

To me I always question what pushed the dog to be acting this way?

So many dogs warning signs are completely ignored until they bite and then they are heard.

One bite can cause problems, but why were the signs ignored?

A sudden change in behavior? Please go to the veterinarian for any underlying health problems. Then contact me, your local Certified Dog Behavior Consultant.

"Do something before the bite! "

A dog nipping, muzzle punching, growling, curling of lips, lip licking, tight jaw, yawning, lifting a paw, dogs speak to us every day.

Until next time! Thank you for reading.
