Knowing The WHY Behind Dog Aggression is the KEY to Solving the Problem

dog aggression

Dog aggression is a terrible thing.

It’s difficult to know what the real issues are and where they are coming from when a dog behaves aggressively, and trying to control them so they don’t hurt anyone – including you – is dangerous, too.

I once worked with a fellow dog lover, trainer, and performer, Kim, whose amazing dog Jody had recently become terribly aggressive.

Kim was horrified! She was at the point where she thought she might have to find a new home for Jody… or put her down.  Dog aggression is a deal breaker in a show dog and ruins many a good career.  And because Kim is a dog trainer, she was afraid that her clients would think she wasn’t good enough to hire her, either.

She felt heartbroken as she and her kids loved Jody very much. Jody had always been sweet, loving, and kind, and she could do the most amazing agility tricks.

But now? She’d turned into a devil dog!

via GIPHY

She couldn’t even take Jody out for a walk without fear that there would be a fight! Jody went after other dogs and even people with a vengeance!

Kim couldn’t figure out why all of a sudden dog aggression was an issue when it had never been a problem before… .

It was heart wrenching to see and Jody’s behavior was at a critical point. She just needed to know WHY her dog’s behavior had taken a turn for the worse so she could figure out how to solve the problem.

Kim felt so guilty… What was she doing wrong?

Did something bad happen to Jody that caused the dog aggression, or was something else happening that her mom Kim didn’t know about?

Was Jody sick with a brain cancer or in desperate pain causing her to behave dangerously?

Kim just needed to know that she was doing everything she could before she made the final decision. And she needed those answers FAST!

Thank GOD she found me! She signed up for a private consultation so that I could talk to her dog and find out what the real issues were.

Come to find out?

It was all a misunderstanding!

One that almost cost Jody her life.

Jody told us that she’d been paying attention when Kim and the kids had been watching TV.  They’d watched several shows where some really bad things had happened to neighbors in their community… tragic stories of people attacking and hurting other innocent people… and where dogs had attacked and hurt people too.

It had made her family feel sad and afraid. And guess what?

Jody got the message alright.

There are bad people and dogs out there!

After that, Jody just wanted to protect her family from all those bad things… but since she didn’t know exactly where or who the bad people or dogs were?

She became indiscriminate in her dog aggression.

We were so relieved to know what the REAL problem was, so we could discuss it together.

Jody’s behavior changed dramatically after our consultation, and I’m delighted to report that she is still happily living with her loved ones and doing her job – and performing too.

Kim said “I was at my wits’ end, struggling with my dog’s out of control behavior. I’d tried everything I could think of, and since I am a dog trainer and compete with my dogs, that’s saying a LOT! But, nothing was working so I decided to give Val a call. I was so amazed! In one session, my dog’s behavior changed and I could tell we were working together as a team for the first time.

It was like she understood me now where she hadn’t before. AND, I was so impressed, that I began working with Val for my own health problems. I am happy to say that I am so much better, life is easier, my relationship with myself and my husband has improved, my business is taking off…. I don’t know where I’d be without Val — don’t want to know!! She’s a remarkable resource and facilitator for me and my clients too. Thank You, Val!!”– Kim M., Montana

Your animal friends are trying to tell you things every day!

They try to tell you that they love you, what their purpose is and when things aren’t right in their world. They may also be trying to tell you things aren’t right in YOUR world!

I want to help you hear your animals so they can tell you if they’re happy, if they’re in pain or feel sick, or if they need to tell you something important so you can enjoy a wonderful heart connection!

Are you frustrated by not knowing why your dog is behaving badly? If they are happy or unwell? You may think everything is ok but…is it?

Make sure that your animal’s life is as happy, pain-free and as full as it can possibly be through animal communication.

Without communicating directly with your animal, you can’t know why they behave the way they do or how to best resolve problems. As an expert animal communicator, internationally recognized pet psychic and master healer, I can help you enjoy healthier, happier, safer, longer lived, more joy filled, empathic heart bonds with your animal companions.

If you would like me to bridge the communication gap between your animals and you, now is the perfect time.

Waiting too long to get help for a problem that’s not going away on its own can cost you a ton of money, energy and time… and could even cost your animal their life.

    Such an interesting story, Val. There is a woman I know who has two dogs and the younger male one jumps on the older female, attacking her and they have to separate them and put them in separate rooms. I was doing a session over the phone with the woman, who kept talking all the time. It was frustrating and distracting for me. Nothing was resolved. Then the Covid thing came up and we haven’t done anything since. It was hard on my confidence, unfortunately. The woman is a cousin of a close friend of mine and all the woman in that family are really fun people but they are insatiable talkers. So your story has reminded me that we have to get this figured out.
