If you have a dog that is being aggressive, then you probably feel like it’s going to be impossible to train them. And you are absolutely right! However, you don’t have to give up on your pet just yet. Here are some helpful dog training tricks that you can use to train your pooch in the right way.
Cats and dogs are basically the same animal, albeit a much smaller one. They both want to play and eat. The only difference between them is that dogs can actually harm their own kind and cats tend to snap at their own kind when they get mad. And since your dog is the same way, you need to train your dog too. There are many different reasons why your dog might snap at you such as: you’ve taken the food away or you haven’t fed him/her in awhile. Your dog might also get mad if you hit it or if you tease them.
When you start training your dog, you should first figure out why the dog is being aggressive towards you in the first place. Some common reasons include: he/she is defending his/her territory, he/she is afraid of something or someone, he/she is defending you or her, and/or he/she is sick (especially if your dog starts acting funny). You should try to figure out the underlying issue(s) to solve the problem. Once you figure out the underlying problem(s), you can try to solve it by finding a solution. Some examples of simple solutions that work for me:
If you want to avoid aggressive dogs from bothering you, try reducing your pets’ fear/ Terror. Dogs have this fear because they are animals that should stay away from other animals and people. It’s actually the opposite because dogs are very friendly animals. So to teach your dog to become friendly, you should try giving it exercises like walking and running. The exercises will make your dog realize that it is not good to be aggressive towards people.
When I was a kid, my dog would often chase after a fly that had crossed my yard. After I would call him and give him the come-uppressions, I could see that he no longer wanted to chase after the fly but instead started coming closer to me. To solve this problem, I would spray a can of water on him with a garden hose. The water will keep him away until I call him again. I also learned that I could also use my neighbor’s pepper spray to effectively scare dogs away.
Another thing that can cause dog aggression is when your dog growl at other dogs when they are away from you. You might be wondering what to do in such a situation. Well, to start with, you should never feed your pooch food that is too close to time. Also, be careful when you’re going to let your dog go outside-ask other dogs to stay behind you and hold them until your dog is done playing or chewing.
Dogs being aggressive toward cats is also known as prey drive. It is a natural tendency for any dog to want to chase after prey, especially cats. It is natural behavior that we are all born with. But if your dog has this problem, then it may be due to a medical problem such as urinary tract infection or a tumor. In order to cure this type of behavior, consult your vet.
Finally, if you’re dog has an extremely aggressive nature, then it might be because it is defending its master. Remember that dogs can’t harm their master in any way. They only do so if they are provoked. If you’re dog has attacked a neighbor or other dog, then it is not your fault and you should learn to accept that. You have to remember that dogs use their power to protect their masters. In order to stop your dog from being aggressive toward you and your family, practice with him the tips mentioned above.
