Need Help Training An Aggressive Dog?
Having a dog that is aggressive can be a major problem especially if you have children around. If you find your dog is getting aggressive there are a few different options available to you.
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 choose to get rid of your dog make sure you take him somewhere safe. Never just let a dog go especially if they are aggressive. Dogs are no longer breed to be wild animals so they would be truly unsafe out on their own.
An even better option would be to train your dog or have a dog trainer train him. There are a variety of different dog training classes you can take you dog to or you can train him in your own home.
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.
When using a clicker it is all about timing. If you mess this up it will be much harder to train your dog and will take much longer.
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.
You also should keep the clicker tucked in your hand so your dog can not see it. Another thing you can do is click using your tongue when your dog has gotten accustomed to the sound of clicking.
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.
