How Safe Is Your Dog Around People?

If your dog’s behavior around people feels unpredictable or concerning, early intervention matters.

Has your dog:

• Growled, snarled, lunged, or snapped at someone?

• Become increasingly reactive toward people?

• Pressure bitten or caused puncture wounds?

Understanding why the behavior is occurring is the first step toward reducing risk and creating safer outcomes.

Professional Canine Bite Risk Assessment

Using the Clothier Animal Response Assessment (CARAT) and 18 years of experience working with aggression cases, Judy evaluates:

• Emotional regulation and arousal

• Sociability and social tolerance

• Fear, confidence, and resilience

• Resource guarding tendencies

• Bite risk and behavioral triggers

Every dog is different. A dog that appears “dominant” or “guarding” may actually be fearful, socially overwhelmed, touch-sensitive, or struggling with emotional regulation. Understanding these distinctions is critical when creating an effective behavior plan.

Together, you’ll work toward:

• Understanding your dog’s triggers

• Reducing risk and preventing future bites

• Improving safety and management

• Building trust and communication

• Creating a realistic training plan tailored to your dog
