Many canines need basic dog obedience training because, like humans, dogs are not born with manners. Some canines display aggressive dog behavior, while others are constantly barking or whining. Behavior problems in dogs are very common, so if you have an unruly dog, do not panic; you are not alone. A typical dilemma faced by dog owners is dog aggression. This, like many other bad dog behaviors, can be prevented. However, in order to stop dog behavior problems, you first need to be able to understand their underlying causes.
Correcting aggressive dogs calls upon you to discover the root of the aggression. Does you dog behave aggressively towards members of the family, strangers, or both? You must ask yourself this critical question. The answer will influence treatment of the problem.
If your pet only exhibits aggressive dog behavior in the presence of strangers, then you need to: learn how to socialize your dog and why socialization is the first, most important step of aggressive dog training. If your dog is aggressive towards family members, then you need to understand why resource guarding and dog pack behavior have a tremendous influence on your dog's actions. A dog may also show aggression towards members of the family if he is mishandled or mistreated. It is important for each family member to learn what type handling/treatment can trigger aggression.
Aggressive dog training is a hard job to do without some form of help. Books on dog behavior are an excellent resource that can guide you through basic dog obedience training and help you learn how to stop dog behavior problems (for example, dog aggression). So, if you want to train your dog in the house and don't want to spend a ton of money on training lessons, then a book on dog behavior is an excellent investment!
Five Suggestions you need to start correcting aggressive dogs:
* Bring your puppy to meet a bunch of different people and expose him to new surroundings.
* Give your puppy lots of physical contact so he can get used to being handled.
* Show your dog that it is you who rules the coop.
* Obedience training lessons should never be too long, inconsistent, or sporadic.
* Reward your dog with treats or attention when he obeys you, and seclude him when he fails to.
