"I was very pleased with the results of Bella's 3 weeks board and training. My main wish was for her to not be so reactive to other dogs. I brought her home a week ago and we went for a long walk. We saw three dogs and she was calm."

"I really appreciate the training that Karma received. Because I had just gotten her as a rescue and didn't know much about her past, I was hesitant to leave her all day. My worries were put to rest immediately. Esa was warm and welcoming."

"I am so grateful to K9 Obedience Academy. I was at my wits end trying to tame my 2 year old German Shepherd Bruno. He is very protective. I couldn't take him anywhere. K9 Obedience Academy has worked with Bruno to show him what behavior is acceptable."

"I thought we would have to get rid of our dog because he is so big and strong. We couldn't get him to listen, walk on the leash or anything. Now I can walk him and he listens to commands. Thank you so very much."

"I put my pup, Arty, in the care of Moe and Esa at K9 to give him some much needed basic training. He did receive that training and Arty is a really sweet boy with new skills thanks to them!"

"Mo is fantastic!!! He took my rescue from uncontrollable and defiant to completely off-leash trained and obedient in 8 weeks. My dog is now doing his public access training for service dog."

"Mo is the best dog trainer I've met. My dog had aggressive behavior and was not responding to commands. A four week program with Mo and I got a different dog back. Not only is his on leash behavior great but he's just as good off leash."

"Mo did a wonderful job with my pup. He would just sit down when I put a leash on him. Now he wants to go everywhere for a walk on his leash. Mo does a great job teaching these pooches."

"We cannot say enough about Mo and his team! Our dog was a rescue found emaciated and infected. She was afraid and anxious and used barking and biting to fend off anyone. Mo transformed her completely."

"Mo was truly life-changing for our family and our dog. We were at a breaking point with our dog's reactivity. Barking nonstop, lunging, and snapping at anyone new. We felt defeated until we found Mo."

"Best training ever! I have used many others for my other dogs but none of them spent the time with us after board and train was over like K9 Obedience Academy did and still does."

We Fix the Cause, Not the Symptom

Most trainers suppress aggression with corrections. The dog stops growling but the underlying fear, insecurity, or resource guarding remains, and eventually resurfaces. Mo's approach identifies the root cause, whether it's fear, territorial instinct, resource guarding, or learned behavior, and addresses it systematically through desensitization and counter-conditioning.

Mo's background handling military working dogs and police K9 units means he's worked with dogs most civilian trainers would never touch. That experience now serves Rochester families dealing with serious aggression cases. Dog-on-dog aggression, human-directed aggression, resource guarding, fear-based aggression, and prior bite history are all within scope.

Aggressive Dog Training Questions Answered

Can you help if my dog has bitten someone?
Yes. We work with dogs with prior bite history. Mo assesses every case individually and builds a plan based on the specific triggers and severity.
Is aggressive dog training safe?
Safety is our top priority. Mo's military K9 background means he's trained to handle high-risk situations. All training is controlled and progressive.
What type of aggression do you treat?
Dog-on-dog aggression, human-directed aggression, resource guarding, fear-based aggression, territorial aggression, and leash aggression.
Should I do private lessons or board and train for aggression?
Depends on severity. Mild cases can be addressed in private lessons. Severe or dangerous cases often benefit from the intensive structure of board and train.
How long does aggressive dog training take?
It varies. Some cases improve in 4-6 sessions. Severe cases may need a full board and train program (3-5 weeks). We give an honest estimate at the consultation.
