Good questions

Before you begin.

Will obedience stop the aggression?

Not alone. It gives you tools, and a behavior plan decides how to use them.

Can an older reactive dog learn new cues?

Yes. Adult dogs learn, and many focus well once the training is clear and kind.

What treats work best?

Small, soft, high-value treats your dog loves. Ask the trainer how to fade them over time.

How much daily work is realistic?

Short sessions daily are better than one long one. Keep it easy and end on a win.
