| How To Stop Dog Aggression - Stop Aggressive Dog Behavior |
If you want to understand how to stop dog aggression let me start by asking you two rhetorical questions!
Firstly do YOU start the
aggression with your dog simply joining in?
Secondly does your dog listen to
you just before it behaves the way it does
when you try show it another way to behave?
The answer will of course be the following:
At the point your dog starts to
become aggressive he is taking no notice at all of you.
He is making his own decisions
and will not listen to you if you try to show him a different way to behave.
What he is doing is simply too important to him and is the right thing to do.
Dog aggression is nearly always done in order to protect, their pack and their
own lives.
Firstly there is of course a
whole range of different types of aggression from dominant to fearful and
everything in between. Then there is aggression that occurs the whole time and
other aggression, which is very erratic, and random depending on a number of
differing factors. We could also look at what your dog is aggressive towards;
it could be people, animals, other dogs or objects.
The way to stop dog aggression
however is very much the same, or at least the cause of the problem is the
same. Your dog thinks that it is the pack leader, becomes fearful and attacks
to protect, you and himself. Dominant dogs will be more proactive, often
attacking when they still have the option of running away, fearful dogs will
only attack if they have no place to run. All the other factors pale into
insignificance compared to this.
The most important concept to
grasp if you want to understand how to stop dog aggression is that your dog
must first look to you as the pack leader in the home. (This is the easiest
place to convince him you are the decision maker.) Only then can you convince
him that you are the pack leader on the walk. There are some fantastic video
sites now that show you exactly how to become the pack leader.
Once you have convinced your dog
that you are the pack leader outside then upon reaching the point where he usually
is aggressive you will find that he will actually start to take notice of how
you are behaving! If you aren’t then
your dog will probably continue to ignore what you are doing at this point
forever.
Just remember, dogs are pack
animals and they follow the pack leader.
One of the best examples of a
professional dog trainer putting this all into practice is The Online Dog
Trainer. The site has live videos of this method being demonstrated and
explains exactly how to stop dog aggression by simply convincing your dog that
you are the pack leader. CLICK HERE
