Dog Biting And Dog Aggression

Dog biting is one of the most troubling problems you can have with a dog. This is behavior that is unacceptable and you may not be able to enjoy your dog as much as you would like if biting is a problem. For some dogs biting others is a problem, but a dog may bite the owner also. This can create a hostile environment between dog and owner and this can be very frustrating.

A dog that bites may have a domination issue. If you let a dog become the leader of your home, they may show aggression when they are forced to do something that they do not want to do. Teaching your dog from the beginning their place in the pack can help prevent problems later.

If you have the opportunity, you want to complete all training while in the puppy phase. This can help a dog understand what you expect and they will be better behaved. A dog trained in the puppy phase will want to please you and this is how you want the dog to be as it gets older. A dog that wants to please an owner will be better adjusted and this can foster a healthy relationship between dog and owner.

A dog that bites other people may have some socialization problems. Socializing your dog early can help them learn how to be around others. You can take even a small puppy around other people from the start and this will help them get used to strangers. There are many places you can take a dog to help them work on socialization and you can make this a regular part of your routine.

Obedience training may be in order if your dog has shown some tendencies to be aggressive and even bite. Obedience training is best done at the puppy stage, but it is never too late to incorporate this training into your dog's life. You should look for resources to help you train your dog from home and this can help your dog to see you as the leader. If your dog does not understand that they are not the leader of the pack, you will have major problems and this can affect your entire household.

Dog biting is an unacceptable behavior and something that can be very disturbing. Curbing this behavior is one of the best things you can do for your dog. Your dog will be happier and you will be also.
