Two dogs, two families, great progress!

Mia and Luke, the dogs in this 4-session course, showed aggression to visitors to the home. Watch Michael as he skillfully gathers information in the intake session and later coaches live individual sessions for each dog, systematically working with the dog in a calm setting. Originally taught live.

  • Excellent chance for trainers to see how to coach clients online.

  • 4 Video Sessions, approximately 2 hours each.

  • 6 CPDT, IAABC, KPA CEUs.

  • Included with Diamond Membership (see below).

  • We also have a Library Pass which lets you stream this course and a lot of other pre recorded content. Find out more on the Library Pass Page.

A shiny new perspective on dog training consultations.

Watch as Michael coaches two separate clients, step-by-step.

  • Four 2-hour Videos

    This is the recorded version of a live course, made up entirely of videos. You'll get to see Michael take a history with the clients and dig in on training sessions.

    This course is useful for regular dog lovers working with a trainer, but especially useful for professional dog trainers.

  • Real-Time Progress

    One thing I felt was missing from the training world was real-time practical work.

    I am thrilled to have Michael teaching in this way on my site (this course and also the upcoming Dog-Dog course). He's a skillful and compassionate coach.

    CEUs (CCPDT & IAABC) Available for Course Purchasers and Diamond Members.

    6 CCPDT CEUs, 6 IAABC CEUs

  • Dogs are Individuals

    Every dog is different, so it's useful to see Michael working a similar problem with two different dogs.

    If you have a dog with aggression issues, please work with a professional to help guide you on what to do in your own case.

As a trainer with a special interest in reactivity cases, this course was over way too soon! It was such a treat to watch a skilled and experienced trainer work through a dog-human aggression case from start to finish. Michael again demonstrates how virtual training can be efficient, safe, and effective. If you are a trainer with any interest in reactivity, I would highly recommend this course. And if you are an owner with a reactive dog, this course gives great insight and hope into the behaviour modification process.

This was such a great course! I don't work dog-human aggression cases, but I wanted to learn how Michael does it--particularly when he's not physically present with the client. Definitely recommend! (I started the course before the COVID pandemic hit my area, and I had a lot more confidence switching my own sessions to the virtual format having watched him do it.)

I wish I would have been able to see this live! I loved the small, clear and clean steps that were taken to help both dogs gain confidence in what was a stressful situation for them. This was fabulous and took amazingly little time with the breakdowns of each step. Also a great reminder to give the dog a balance break in between sessions. Well done everyone!!

I love anything that Michael Shikashio is involved in, he is fantastic, and this course was such a pleasure to watch. Seeing how Michael works with Dog-Human Aggression, starting at the very beginning and having the benefit of watching the progress of the dogs over the weeks has been excellent. I highly recommend this course. Many thanks.
