Dog Aggression Training
Why do so many dogs get euthanized when there owners could have
taught them not to bite?
When it comes to dog aggressiveness, there are laws that state
the dog's owner can be charged and the dog put down if the dog
bites someone. Of course, with some serious dog training, dogs
can be taught to enjoy people and not be aggressive.
There are a number of reasons why dogs become aggressive. The
dog may feel his territory is being compromised, or he feels
threatened. A lot of dog aggression comes from lack of
confidence and insecurity. Simple dog obedience training will
not solve your dog's aggressive problems, only some serious dog
training will do the trick. Dog aggressiveness doesn't just mean
biting; it means barking and lunging at people as well. This
type of behaviour needs to be addressed as soon as possible to
prevent anything serious from happening to a person, child or
another dog.
Aggressive behavior will not go away without proper corrective
action from the owner and will not get better as the dog ages.
The biggest mistake that owners make is to excuse away
aggressive behavior for their dog or puppy, and hope that the
behavior is outgrown. The behavior only worsens with age.
A responsible dog owner will not tolerate aggressive behavior
from a puppy or an adult dog. A well socialized, bred and
adjusted puppy or dog will feel no need to act aggressively. A
dog that acts this way demonstrates that there is a problem with
the dog's relationship to humans. Often it is a case where the
dog has been taught (from puppyhood) to act inappropriately in
given situations. Or the dog decides that aggressive behavior is
needed, when it is not.
Dog attacks result due to the lack of proper and positive
training. Some dog owners employ fear inducing and painful
training techniques. Your dog will see this as life threatening
and resort to aggressive actions in order to protect herself.
Others will bite out of fun and when they are over excited. Both
cases are mostly as a result of lack of positive training. So if
you don't properly socialize your dog with people or other dogs,
expect bites any time.
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. If you want more information about

As a dog owner, it is very important that you socialize your
dog. Socializing your dog helps boost it's confidence and
reduces your dog's fear and nervousness in normal circumstances.
When you are introducing new things to your dog, make sure that
you have him firmly under control. Introduce your pup to
different people, dogs, children and environments. Give lots of
praise and treats to reward proper behavior. Dog's are pack
animals and view your family as his pack. (Note: your dog must
be the on the lowest rung of the pack hierarchy. All humans in
the family must be deemed by your dog as his superiors). If the
dog is not properly socialized with different people, she begins
to view all people that are outside of the "pack", with
distrust. You may believe your dog is friendly by observing him
with your family. Your mailman may have a totally different view
on your dog's demeanor. :o) So get your dog out and about.
At the end of the day what counts is that your dog stops
attacking and he starts loving. An aggressive dog can halter 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 sorted!
