How to Stop Aggressive Dog Behavior
If you're getting tired of your dog's bad manners like peeing all over your carpet or ruining your furniture? Has it gotten to the point where you have to let him outside the house if you have visitors? That shouldn't be the case but if worse comes to worse, then your dog needs tough love from you.
It means training him as soon as possible.
Most aggressive dogs are the quiet dogs, this is dangerous in a way because you never know when his going to react.
This is dangerous for any visitor that you have especially for children around the house.
Dog training for aggressive dog behavior is very important for safety.
Understanding where the aggression is coming from will help you as the owner to effectively deal with your dog.
Fear can be a motivating factor for a dog to become aggressive.
This is because most dogs are highly territorial animals.
I've observed from my dogs especially the big ones, whenever you get near them while they're eating, they tend to show their teeth, telling you what your doing is a bad move.
During training, establish yourself as the pack leader, command authority.
Dogs tend to follow this hierarchy system.
Remember to show to your dog that he is safe and in control.
Once you have mastered your dogs anxiety and where its coming from, you will be able to control your dog's action and command him without difficulty.
One way of showing your dog that he is safe, is by gradually exposing him to unfamiliar things.
If fear is the main reason, then your dog should face them.
Walk around the park and help him interact with other dogs even humans.
Eventually, he will be more comfortable and will not fear unfamiliar situations or strangers.
Training can also be effective if you make it more fun for your dog, this way he looks forward to it.
Combine playtime with training, for example, playing fetch in the backyard then giving commands such as sit and stay, or to come back towards you.
You can repeat a single command if you want to, until your dog masters it and then move to another command, whichever is more convenient and effective for you.
Without training, your dog will be a danger everywhere he goes.
I've seen the show by Oprah where she showed dogs been put down to sleep either because they were sick or very aggressive even to their owners.
I hate to see that happen to my dogs.
Fortunately, you have choices and training your dog is one of them.
Be responsible enough for you and your dogs safety.
