How To Stop Dog Aggression
 |
There are many reasons that a dog might become aggressive toward other dogs. Some dogs might get nervous or fearful around other dogs. In other cases the dog is striving to be the dominant dog. In other cases, the dog is becoming aggressive since he is defending his territory.
An owner can also be the reason why his dog is aggressive. This can happen because the owner never socially introduces his dog to other dogs or because the dog is trying to be protective of his master, and become aggressive in this manner at the same time are becoming sexually aggressive too.
Tips
One way to stop dog aggression is to make sure that a dog is socialized as a puppy to other animals. Puppies should be allowed to play with other dogs that are mature and well behaved.
In this way, they learn the proper dog behavior from the older animals. The puppy earns that other dogs are okay and that he does not have to fight to defend the territory or protect the owner from the other animals.
Another way to stop dog aggression when a dog starts to become aggressive is to address the issue immediately each time it happens. The dog should never be allowed to get away from this type of dangerous behavior. A head collar or muzzle can be effective while the dog is in training to stop dog aggression, but is not the solution to the problem in the long run.
A way to stop dog aggression is through strict training so that the dog is tuned into the instructions of the owner rather than focusing on the other animal. The dog should be trained to focus on the owner so that his attention is there and the owner can give another command to the dog, such as ‘down’ or ‘sit’ while there is another dog around.
The owner should also teach himself to control his anxious feelings and behavior, as small as it might be, so that the dog does not take a nervous cue from the owner. This can help to stop dog aggression since the dog always takes its cue from the owner.
Once your dog knows how to focus, train him to look for a treat even when theres another dog around. This can be done by throwing a treat on the ground and then telling the dog to find it at the same time distracting it from the other dog and stopping the aggression before it even begins.
