How To Deal With An Aggressive Dog
When you have an aggressive dog and children it is a recipe for disaster. If you are noticing that you dog is aggressive you have a couple options that are available to you for handling it.
The first option would be to get rid of your dog (not recommended). While this is not the option most people choose it is something some people do.
If you do decide that you want to get rid of your dog then make sure you find him a safe home. You should never let any dog go especially if they are aggressive. Dogs have had the wild breed out of them so the great outdoors is very unsafe for them out on their own.
A better option would be to get your dog trained or train him yourself. There are many different classes you can take your dog to and most everywhere has dog trainers.
One way of training your dog is through clicker training. When done properly, clicker training can help you see a major improvement in your dog’s behavior. The great thing about training your dog with a clicker is that after a while your dog will listen to your commands without using the clicker or treats.
Timing is everything when using the clicker dog training method. If you get this wrong all of your effort will be wasted.
The second that your dog follows your command you need to click with the clicker and give them a treat. If you wait to long the dog will not understand what behavior got them the treat he will just know that he is very lucky because you are excited and feeding him yummy treats.
Another thing to know about clicker training is that you do not want your dog to see the clicker in your hand. You can also do clicker training by clicking with your tongue.
No matter how you are going to train your dog make sure you are using positive training methods. Not only will negative methods hurt your dog but he is likely to become worse behaved over time.
Clicker training for dogs is one of the most effective methods of training your dog if it is done correctly. Learn more about dog obedience training by visiting us at safedogobedienceadvice.com.
