Is Your Dog Aggressive? Follow These Tips To Get Rid Of Dog Aggression
One of the toughest things for a dog owner to deal with is having a dog that is aggressive. Not only is it extremely difficult to deal with an aggressive dog but it can be risky as well.
The first step to correcting aggressive behavior in dogs is to figure out what sets them off.
Do they exhibit dog aggression towards other dogs?
If that is the case with your dog one thing you can do to get rid of some of his dog on dog aggression is to make sure you grab your dogs attention when you are approaching another dog.
If you know anything about dog training and dog training commands then you might be familiar with the command “Watch Me”. This is a great command to use when your dog is getting near another dog because what the command means is for your dog to look you in the eye and give you his full attention.
When you are able to get your dog to give you their full attention then you stand a great chance that they will proceed by the other dog without being aggressive.
Another thing to avoid when your dog is around another dog is letting your dog make eye contact with the other dog. When dogs make eye contact they are basically issuing a warning that they are more dominating. This can lead to real problems when you have two bull headed dogs who think they are king of the castle.
Another way your dog might be aggressive is with his food. Some dogs will get aggressive when they are eating and get very territorial. If you dog is aggressive when he is eating then you need to make sure children are not around him anytime he has food or a bone.
One of the ways to help get rid of food aggression in dogs is to make sure that they do not get feed until everyone else in the house has finished eating their meals. This will show your dog that you are the head of the pack and help you gain his respect which is needed if you are going to be able to train your dog not to be aggressive.
