Stop Dog Aggression

Stopping dog aggression involves understanding the root cause of the aggressive behavior and taking appropriate steps to address it.

6 Causes of Dog Aggression

1.  Fear or Anxiety.  Dogs may become aggressive when they feel threatened or scared.

2.  Pain or Medical Issues.  Dogs in pain or discomfort might act out aggressively.

3.  Protectiveness.  Dog aggression can occur when a dog is protecting its territory, food, toys, or family members.

4.  Lack of Socialization.  Dogs that haven’t been properly socialized may react aggressively to unfamiliar people, animals, or situations.

5.  Frustration. Dogs can become aggressive when they are overly excited or frustrated, often due to being restrained or unable to reach something they want.

6.  Lack of Proper Training.  Dog owners think they understand what sort of training is necessary to stop dog aggression.  But most of their ideas are completely wrong!

6 Signs of Dog Aggression

Is your dog’s behavior just problematic, or is it considered aggressive?  Here are some of the behaviors that could be considered aggressive:

• • Barking
  • Lunging
  • Snarling
  • Growling
  • Snapping
  • Biting

Doggy Dan’s training program can certainly help with these aggressive behaviors!

Training to Stop Dog Aggression

You’ve already watched Professional Dog Trainer and Behaviorist, Doggy Dan’s video about what happens in your dog’s brain when they’re behaving aggressively.

Now you can jump directly to the finish line by taking advantage of Doggy Dan’s newest dog training program, The Dog Calming Code.

Doggy Dan’s techniques, taught to you in The Dog Calming Code, will solve the 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 going to be 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!

4 Dog Aggression Management Techniques

Sign up for The Dog Calming Code and set aside time for you (and the whole family if possible) to do the two-hour training and learn the 5 exercises to do with your dog to stop aggression.

In the meantime, try these four dog aggression management techniques to keep things under control as much as possible until you complete the training program.

1.  First, let your veterinarian know that your dog is behaving aggressively.  Your vet may recommend a checkup to make sure your dog’s aggression isn’t a result of their being in pain or having some sort of medical problem.

2.  Use a muzzle, a leash and/or a harness to make sure you have control of your dog in places where aggressive behavior might occur.  Always use these tools in a humane manner.

When you do Doggy Dan’s training, you’ll quickly learn that dog aggression is not your dog’s fault, and you’ll feel guilty if you’ve been mean to the dog over this (seriously).

3.  Try to avoid triggers as much as possible.  Keep your dog out of situations where they’re typically aggressive.

4.  Give your dog an escape.  Whether it’s in your home when the doorbell rings, when someone comes near the yard, or in the park or on a walk, always make sure you dog has a safe place where they can retreat and feel secure so they don’t feel the need to become aggressive.

Don’t Struggle to Stop Dog Aggression

There’s just no need to struggle trying to stop dog aggression yourself.  Get The Dog Calming Code, incorporate the steps into your dog’s daily routine, and you’ll see results quickly.  You (and your dog!) will be happy you found this.

Is Your Dog’s Aggression Out of Control?

If you’re feeling fearful about the severity of your dog’s aggressive behavior, don’t hesitate to contact a professional in your area.  Not all local dog trainers are actually effective in treating dog aggression correctly.  If your dog’s aggression is serious, please consult a Certified Dog Behaviorist.

To find out more about finding a certified dog behaviorist, consult your veterinarian or go to Certified Applied Animal Behaviorists or the American College of Veterinary Behaviorists (ACVB).
