A Fear Aggressive Dog

[dcooper111]

If a trainer tells you to put your dog down find another trainer! Their job is to "train" the dog not take the easy way out. By telling you to put your dog down they are basically saying I cant fix him/her which is telling you they cant do their job!

This is great. Calm, neutral, not demanding. He doesn't move or act afraid when she barks or snaps and in just a small amount of time she is comfortable with him. It takes time to build trust and just because she is ok with him there doesn't mean she will be OK in another circumstance, a sudden move, in her sleeping area etc. The trust building has to start new in those places and so on etc with each new person. It is a lot of work, I have a fear aggressive dog I work with.

My friend has a dog just like this. He is aggressive towards people,and most other dogs.

We have been seeking help,but haven't found anyone right in our area.

Can anyone help?

She's thinking of putting him down,but I think he has potential to be a great dog,he's ok with most woman,and all kids. Just reactive towards men,and strangers.

@moonlit79 no they said in the video that they found her at the pound like that.

Thank you for posting this! We adopted a fear aggressive (toward other dogs, not humans) Chihuahua last week, and your video reinforced the approach we've taken with her. The shelter said she's fearful, but not aggressive; now we've got to get her to relax with our gentle Lab/Akita. It's a lot of work, but we WILL get her through this. :)

Discipline is necessary, but so is reassurance. It's so refreshing to see someone not out to be the "alpha" and especially at the cost of the dog's stability!

great job!

GREAT JOB what the fuck mann that dog is still mean as hell cant no body touch him and hear you go GREAT JOB

[Katatawnic]

He indeed didn't do a great job.... he did a wonderful job at handling and soothing her. Contrary to what the "Dog Whisperer" and other such shows/stories portray, there is no such thing as a quick fix. Humans go through months to years of rehabilitation/therapy, and so do dogs. This video wasn't about "curing" her in one episode. It was about handling a fear aggressive dog and gaining her trust, respect, and most importantly showing her owners how to continue working with and helping her. :)

im usto handling dominate,animal aggresive,protective dogs, never had a dog that acted like that,overly nervis

[khtervola]

Even an unfriendly dog to begin with, will not bite if it has enough room to live in otherwise. Check that you do not look like a robot commander but instead like a friendly aunt coming to visit with a cake. Keep that atmosphere and praise the dog for behaving well, look sad and distant (and no cake coming) if the dog misbehaves, then as the situation calms down even for a short while try again with the friendly aunt atmosphere...

u repeat that advice alot dont ye? the same words!

[purpletussi]

A dog protecting its territory will move forward and bite eventhough it has enough space. Other than that very good advice.

Fantastic example of every dogs transformation potential!
