Canine Aggression Treatment
Canine Aggression TreatmentCan canine aggressive behavior be cured?
Virtually all dogs can be trained successfully for any dog behavior problem, including aggression. So don’t give up on your dog, even if you’ve tried several canine training techniques that haven’t worked. Regardless of why your dog is being aggressive, the same rules apply when it comes to canine training.
Why is it Important to Train an Aggressive Canine?
Why is it Important to Train an Aggressive Canine?Canine aggression is serious. Dealing with a dog that’s aggressive is not only frustrating; it can also be downright dangerous if you’re at risk of your dog hurting you, another person, a child, or another dog.
Sadly, your frustration can put a wedge between you and your dog, making you to feel disconnected or even resentful toward your dog.
But here’s the good news…
- It’s very likely that your dog DOES NOT NEED MORE TRAINING. The solution is actually far more simple than that.
- It’s easy to get your dog to obey you once you LEARN HOW TO COMMUNICATE with your dog in a way the dog can understand.
You Need a Solution NOW!
The techniques Doggy Dan teaches in The Dog Calming Code will solve the canine aggression issues you’re having with your dog quickly, easily and permanently. That’s because Doggy Dan teaches you how to communicate with your dog in a way the dog can actually understand.
It is NOT more training that your dog needs. Rather, it’s the knowledge of how to communicate with your dog to let them know that you are the one in charge. Most dogs are followers, not leaders. Stepping up as a leader for your dog is one of the most kind, loving things you’ll ever do for your dog!
Canine Aggression Training
The Dog Calming Code will provide the following results for you and your dog:
1. Sets Up a New, Healthy Relationship Between You and Your Dog. Setting up a healthy relationship with your dog is one of the most important things you can do as a dog owner. When you get this right, EVERYTHING ELSE FALLS INTO PLACE.
2. Makes Training Your Dog Easier. Once you’ve got The Dog Calming Code in place and a solid relationship set up, you’ll find your dog is LISTENING to you, wanting to FOLLOW your lead and TAKE DIRECTION.
3. The Dog Calming Code is Totally Instinctive to Dogs. This is canine training that actually MAKES SENSE TO YOUR DOG! You’ll be able to communicate with your dog in a way that they will immediately understand. You’ll be speaking your dog’s language, which is the easiest, most effective way of training your dog.
4. The Dog Calming Code Builds Tolerance. Your dog will not be reacting when something alarming suddenly occurs, like a child playing, a squirrel running, a friend coming over for a visit, or another dog approaching. These things will be far less likely to set your dog off, so having to keep them under control doesn’t happen as often.
5. The result of The Dog Calming Code is a Calm Dog. Soon after putting The Dog Calming Code in place, you’ll notice that your dog is generally far calmer. That’s because your dog is now focused, watching and listening to YOU. They’ll be able to switch off, not be so alert and anxious, and be much calmer and HAPPIER about life. Aggressive canine behavior just won’t be an issue anymore.
What’s the Drawback?
The Dog Calming Code includes 5 exercises you’ll need to incorporate into your dog’s daily routine. The exercises are only effective if you actually use them. You will have to go through the training and you’ll have to incorporate the training techniques into your dog’s routine. It’s not difficult, but you have to actually do it.
Canine Aggression Toward Other Dogs
Doggy Dan has a fantastic, free tutorial on how to stop canine aggression toward other dogs called, Dog-on-Dog Aggression Solved: Transforming Two Dogs Who Tried to Kill Each Other!
Canine Aggression Towards People
Canine aggression toward people can be a serious but not-so-complex issue. It can manifest in several ways, including growling, lunging, snapping or biting.

Canine Ladder of Aggression
Canine Ladder of AggressionThe canine ladder of aggression is a concept used to understand and interpret the escalating behaviors dogs might display when they feel threatened or stressed. This concept helps dog owners to recognize the early signs of discomfort in dogs to prevent escalation to more serious aggressive behaviors.
The ladder includes a range of behaviors, starting with mild, subtle signs of stress and moving towards overt aggression.
Here’s a typical progression on the ladder 1 being the more subtle signs to 11 being the more serious signs (provided by Pupford.com).
1. Yawning, blinking, nose licking: These are initial signs of mild discomfort or stress.
2. Turning head away: The dog is trying to avoid the stressor.
3. Turning body away, sitting, pawing: More pronounced avoidance behaviors.
4. Walking away: The dog is attempting to remove itself from the stressful situation.
5. Creeping, ears back: The dog is showing more clear signs of anxiety and discomfort.
6. Standing crouched, tail tucked under: The dog is becoming more visibly stressed.
7. Lying down, leg up: A sign of submission but also increasing stress.
8. Stiffening up, staring: The dog is getting more tense and focused on the stressor.
9. Growling: A clear warning signal that the dog is highly uncomfortable and potentially ready to escalate.
10. Snapping: A quick bite or snap as a more direct warning.
11. Biting: The final and most severe form of aggression.
