Avoiding Aggressive Dog Behavior

It is important to acquaint your dog to various environments as well as other animals he may encounter on a daily basis . Proper leash training is a must ! Rewarding good behavior is also essential . Never punish physically or use excessive force , as this will only frighten and confuse the dog.   

Introduce him to other dogs in the area regularly and allow him to interact with them as much as possible .  This will ensure a positive reaction when you meet other owners when out for  walks or playing in the park .   

Regular interaction with other animals and a variety of people will reduce the chances of aggressive dog behavior in the future . young children should always be supervised when introducing a new puppy into the household. This is where proper socialization begins .   

Before introducing your dog to the outside world , he must know basic commands such as sit , stay , come , heel , and down .  One of the most important commands is the word no .  Always give praise when a command is followed .  

Never throw your dog into an unexpected situation . When encountering unfamiliar surroundings, people or other animals, always allow a cautious approach and be in control at all times. This is where proper leash training is essential .  

Never let your pet off the leash in populated areas. You never know when an unexpected confrontation will arise or how your dog may react. Just because he has been docile all along does not mean aggressive dog behavior will not happen. 

If your older canine has been cooperative in the past but is exhibiting this type of behavior, there are underlying reasons to consider. General health issues such as arthritis or other pain will affect a dog’s temperament. 

If you have recently introduced another pet to your household, this will often trigger aggressiveness. Not every canine will welcome a newcomer into their domain, so introducing a new pet gradually is recommended.  Give the pup it’s own room for a week or so to allow your elder family member time to acquaint itself with new scents. 

Training your pup to prevent aggressive dog behavior is easy to accomplish with the proper techniques, which include positive reinforcement for good behavior, keeping in control at all times with proper leash training and socializing on a daily basis. Perhaps you know of other dog owners who would consider play dates to help your puppy get to know the other neighborhood pets.
