Ep. 36: Managing Your Dog's Territorial Aggression at the Front Door, Part 2
Navigating the choppy waters of canine territorial aggression just got smoother. Our latest discussion zeroes in on the strategies needed to manage dogs with a keen sense of trepidation when it comes to visitors coming into their home.
You'll discover how to categorize these guests into three distinct camps, and we'll pay special attention to those 'level two' visitors who, with the right approach, could move from unfamiliar to trusted allies in your dog's eyes.
We'll also cover everything from leveraging a safe space and the benefits of a pre-entry stroll to the favorable non-interactive stance a visitor should maintain upon entering your domain.

Customer Reviews
So much valuable information
I am really enjoying this podcast. It has taught me a lot and made understanding my dog so much easier. I hired a very expensive in home trainer and I wish I had found this podcast first. The podcast has been more helpful than our training sessions.
Incredible knowledge from an incredible human
Scott is without a doubt a profound thought leader in this space. The knowledge I’ve gained from the episodes I’ve heard so far has helped me better understand my dog, who is the love of my life. I’ve also realized the part my *own* behavior has played in some of her aggressive tendencies. I can’t wait to continue listening as you release more episodes.
Great Insight
Scott does a masterful, yet practical, down-to-earth presentation on all things dog behavior. His expertise on dog aggression is of benefit to all who deal with animals on any level.
