Don't be fooled, this type of human behavior WILL cause your dog to become MORE aggressive.

This "vet" obviously has NO behavioral knowledge whatsoever, and his veterinary license should be revoked for providing inappropriate training suggestions to people. He obviously has no expertise or information in the area of behavior.

Yea, hold your puppy down until they poop pee and cry! Great way to build build your relationship with your new puppy.

Give me some feed back if you try this because it will work with some dogs it make take a few diffrent training sessions but it will work. I have a Pit and after doing this she stopped biting and began licking.

*****READ THIS BEFORE TRYING WHAT THIS IDIOT IS TELLING YOU TO DO***** This is BULL all this will do is make your dog more aggressive to get your dog to stop biting you redirect and reward good behaviors. One way is to chop a hot dog up into pieces like treats make sure the hotdog juice is all over your hand. Then put your hand up to the dogs mouth and when they lick your hand reward them with a treat and eventually your dog will get the hang of it.

@MrKh76 There is a lot of advice posted before yours so read it ;-). And yes, this advice is dangerous. With puppy's you might get away with it, but if your dog grows up big and strong and really is a 'dominant' type and decides not to take it, you WILL loose. And If he isn't that stubborn, you don't need to do this in the first place. If there is any general advice for handling true dog aggression (growling doesn't have to be), it's that agression breeds agression.

It is shameful for a veterinarian (or someone pretending to represent the vet industry) to give such erroneous advice. Check with AVMA and AVSAB and ACVB to get better advice. This should be removed as it is equivalent to malpractice.

@1Keara So, how'd that go for you? Do you still have your puppy? This advice is SO stupid and dangerous :( A dog that lunges and snaps at a child has a bad temperament, and all the punishing and scaring them is not going to change that. Dogs communicate in the only way they know how, and to us, we label it things like "dominance" and "aggression". Often it's a sign of their fears.If you were scared, and some big huge person held you down by your neck til you defecated, would it make you less so?

What a load of (poo) this vet talks!

[saranebe]

Holy crap!!!! How to make your puppy fearful - aggressive - shut down - mistrust you. What the hell?

Tommorrow I shall be making a video on how to neuter your dog. Please Mr vet stick to the medical stuff and leave the behaviour stuff to the behaviourists.
