You rock amazing dog trainer. I just got a black lab and I've been watching all of your videos. I really appreciate the info. you give. I'm applying it. Thanks again.
I have a beautiful german shepherd pup. She is incredibly sweet and caring. She rarely barks, but theres been a few times shes barked at people when she's really scared (so scared her fur is standing straight up) shes only 13 weeks old and people are advising me to jerk her leash and yell NO very agressivly at her when she does this. It seems cruel to me to yell at her for being scared, what do you think?
yes of course ! if you yell at her for being scared she will have 2 reasons to be scared...a scary person is coming near and when people come near you become unpredictable. socialization never stops. treat her for every person she sees if necessary
one of my dogs shows mild signs of aggression when i do certain things like pick her up or put my face too close to hers. she usually growls and jumps backwards. because of this i refrain from doing these things but i was wondering if there was any way of stopping this behavior because obviously these are negative behaviors. My dog is a 2 year old Border collie cross Australian kelpie, who is other wise affectionate and well behaved.
boodoggle89, aggression usually starts for several reasons. A big one is inconsistency. If you are inconsistent in your training, your dog will see you as a weak leader and make the decision to take charge. Having a poor sit command will contribute to the aggression. Letting the dog in or out of the house without your permission will also contribute. Consistency is one of the most important things you can do to help the situation.
a great way to get your dog comfortable with touching he is not comfortable with is to put a big thing of peanut butter in his mouth and then start touching him, if you do that a lot eventually your dog will associate that touching with happy memories of peanut butter.
He seems to know what he's doing... But all methods don't work on any dog-that's why he goes for a walk with the dog-patient first-to get to know the dog. Then he starts the training -of the owners :-D...
I may have misheard but I have a dog who is aggressive and in my experience dealing with him there are NO 'small signs' of aggression. Aggressive behavior is serious, always and means you need to seek help. Thank you for the videos I frequently refer to them in regards to training my zoo.
As Eric says, DONT get physical with your dog. When you get physical, they get more physical back.
Think your way round the problem - dog is on your bed and wont get off and is growling at you? Go to the kitchen, make 'ooh i have food noises', or any sound that gets your dog off that bed and next to you. You change the subject, you are not engaging in an argument, you distract the dog and 'win' by out thinking him. No one gets bitten.teach pups that off command is rewarding then theres no issue
@killcrazy26 "get off my bed", "what's in it for me?" fuck that. my dog get's off cauz i tell him to, the same way it would work in the animal world..
My chihuahua is very aggressive and I've actually been bitten a lot of times by it. So what do I do when it starts growling? Do I just leave her alone or what? Thanks in advance :)
Your dog's the pack leader..It's gonna take time to fix.I allow NO growling at all with my dogs (have one male dog & one male puppy).If I hear any I say no with a determined voice and put my hand on his neck (without hurting).If he's really excited (attacks the puppy if it comes to near his bed) I put my hand on his neck and firmly (still without hurting)press his head down until he lies down. He's kept there until he gives up-voluntarly turns on his side and shows his belly " You're the boss".
I was training my friends' dog (because he was too scared to) and whenever I used the "scruff grab" he'd immediately flop down lol.. it was cute and my friend laughed a lot when that happened. After that, the dog started turning around and trying to bite my hand (playfully) whenever I tried to grab behind the neck. Ended up that the dog was thinking it was all for play when his owner started laughing :S
..Do take the dog first to the vet to check that it's not ill. Dog's who're in pain can be aggressive. If the dog's fine-it's time to show who's the pack leader...I'd recommend to take the little one to "dog-training" (actually it's the owners who get trained :-D) somewhere nearby...
like he said, the way to be the pack leader is to control the things that are important to your dog, NOT by physical violence or grabbing the dogs neck. i suggest you start hand feeding your dog, if the dog growls or bites when you come near him he doesnt get food, but if he is nice he is allowed to eat. then start putting food in his bowl again, while he is eating put your hand on the bowl, if he growls take the bowl if he is calm and nice give him a treat.
a good book to read to understand this is the culture clash. another note, this method is dangerous with very agressive or dog that can inflict a lot of damage because of their size. those cases should be handled by a professional behaviorist.
can you please have a kid with ceaser milan please because your kid would be amazing!
