Private Lessons
SBdogs has created several options to best suit you and your dog's needs. Please feel free to contact us to discuss the best choice and availability. Depending on the package and the learning curve of your dog, we will work on basic obedience such as focus, sit, stay, down, stand, off, come, and heel, off leash and on leash walking. We will work on any problem solving issues needed such as crate training/potty training, nipping, jumping, barking, digging, chewing, aggression, etc. We will also work to include cue recall with distances and distractions. Training in the comfort of your home/yard areas is available and encouraged.
***If you and up to three other pet owners want to group up, special deals are offered for private group lessons.
Group Lessons
Group classes are designed to help socialize and train puppies and adult dogs. I include problem-solving ideas for behavior problems along with basic obedience commands. In group we will work on proper greetings, sit, stay, down, come and more. Through various group lessons and discussions, your relationship with your dog will improve as we create an environment that the dog can successfully be trained in.
Aggression Assistance Programs
Is your dog aggressive towards other dogs? When on a walk, does your dog show signs of leash reactivity? Are you looking for a controlled environment to socialize/work with your aggressive/over reactive dog? We are looking to help you with leash reactivity issues/dog to dog aggression, fear based aggression, and dominance aggression. You will receive the opportunity to work with me in a controlled environment to work with these challenging issues. If you are interested, please inquire with information regarding your situation (please provide brief example of the type of aggression you are experiencing with your dog.
I have a number of exercises set up to help you. This will be a program that is individualized to accommodate each of your situations. Only 5 dogs will be allowed per session.
Training Aggressive Dogs: A Journey of Trust and Transformation
Aggression Assistance Programs - how WE CAN WORK TOGETHER
When other local classes turned them away, I knew I had to step in. I’m Jordan, the certified dog trainer behind SBdogs, and years ago, I created a 6-week course specifically for aggressive dogs—those who had nowhere else to go. This program, held twice a week with a maximum of five dogs, was designed to transform their behavior, rebuild their confidence, and strengthen the bond with their owners. Here’s how we did it.
We started at a park, ensuring the dogs were over 300 feet away from any distractions—people, dogs, or triggers—without reacting. That distance was our baseline, and from there, I worked relentlessly to desensitize them. Session by session, we closed the gap, building confidence in both the dogs and their owners. I brought in decoy dogs to walk the perimeter or cross through the space, and human decoys to move around, increasing distractions gradually. The goal was simple but challenging: get these dogs to a point where they could handle real-world chaos without reacting.
The process was intense. We focused on trust—trust in me, in their owners, and in the process. Owners traded dogs during sessions, learning to work with each other’s pups, which deepened the dogs’ adaptability and the owners’ understanding of their behaviors. By the final session, the transformation was breathtaking: all five dogs would lie in a down position, we even added food bowls in front of them, surrounded by distractions, and not react. It was a testament to their growth and the unwavering commitment of their owners.
What made this program so special was the stakes. These owners knew this might be their dog’s last chance, and they showed up with as much heart as their dogs did. Watching those bonds strengthen, seeing the dogs gain confidence, and witnessing the owners’ dedication—it was beautiful. At SBdogs, I believe every dog deserves a chance to thrive, and I’m proud to help dogs and their families find that path.
If you find yourself in this position, with a dog struggling with aggression or reactivity, please contact me to discuss training options. I’d love to help you and your pup build a brighter future together—just call or text me at to get started.
