How To Train An Aggressive Dog

When it comes to aggressiveness in a dog this can be a very
serious problem. There are new laws in many areas that state
dog’s owner can be charged and the dog put down if the dog bites
someone. Of course with some serious dog training our dog can
learn to enjoy people not turn on them.

There are many reasons why dogs are or become aggressive. Maybe
the dog feels his territory is being compromised, or he feels
threatened. A lot of aggression comes from lack of confidence
and insecurity. Simple obedience will not solve your dog’s
aggressive problems only some serious dog training will do the
trick. Aggressiveness doesn’t just mean biting; it means barking
and lunging at people as well. This type of behavior needs to be
addressed as soon as possible to prevent anything serious from
happening to someone or another dog.

Your vet can recommend you how to go about finding someone who
can work with aggressive dogs. Training aggressive dogs is a
specialty and unfortunately could cost you a fair amount of
money, but the end result is well worth it and you don’t have to
worry about losing your dog. Most obedience and training schools
won’t take aggressive dogs as most of the places run classes
with other members and won’t let them be endangered. The best
thing you can do is to take him to a proper dog school. Look in
your yellow pages for one.

Always check the techniques used by schools on how they train
aggressive dogs as training an aggressive dog can be dangerous
some places may use out of date methods which could be harmful
to your dog, although this isn’t always the case it is always
better to be safe than sorry. I wish I could say it was easy to
train your dog not to be aggressive but it isn’t.

At the end of the day what counts is that your dog stops
attacking and he starts loving. An aggressive dog can bridle the
relationship that you have with him therefore you and your dog
aren’t having the best time together as you are always worried
about him biting you, other people or other dogs. I recommend
that you do what it takes to get the problem handled!
