Dog Training Tips For Controlling Your Dogs Sense Of Fighting

Nowadays, most of the people having dogs are always worried about their dog getting into fights. However, there are a number of reasons for which the dog can act in such a way, which can be simply a misunderstanding, food, status, or even fear. It's a big problem for such owners who have more than one dog, and they are fed up of stopping their dogs from fighting with each other at home. In this article, I will be providing you some tips I have put together through which you could train your dog to stop fighting with other dogs.

Starting with what is the first tip? The first tip is to have control over those things which can be controlled. What does that mean? It means that you should understand that you can only control your own dog, not other dogs. For example, a dog approaching your dog is something out of your control, and you cannot stop it. So what should you do? In situations like these, you should calm yourself. How will that help? Your dog can sense your stress and can seize upon it. Therefore, it is really necessary to control yourself in such circumstances as the first thing to do.

The second tip to you is to make sure that your dog has proper socialization and dog training. Of these things has a vital role in the sense of fighting of your dog. For example, if your dog is lacking proper socialization it will result in sometimes your dog staring into other dogs longer than usual, which can cause the other dogs to react if that dog has a dominant attitude. It is necessary to have socialization of dogs at the six to eight week mark to make sure they develop properly. They are usually trained to listen and recognize their owner's command. Also, they are trained to stay calm and relaxed whenever they pass by other dogs or animals.

Furthermore, what is the third tip? The third tip is to be armed with some repellent devices? As I previously said that you do not have any control over other dogs, but you can discourage them from fighting with your dog. How can you do that? You can use a water gun to squirt on the approaching dog, or you can even use a stun gun by firing it in the air creating a noise which forces the other dog to run away. There are also many other repellent devices which you can use. Hence, make sure to be always equipped with one of them.

The fourth tip for you is somewhat suggestive and should be thought upon before accepting it. It mainly suggests you to consider reining in your dog. For one, you should discourage your dog from roaming in the neighborhood. You can also fix your dog as it can reduce your dog's aggressive behavior. However, you must put a serious thought upon this step and decide what is best for your dog. In the end, all these tips will not only help you in keeping your dog away from fights while also will help your dog in controlling its desire to initialize the fights.
