Important Tips On How To Control Dog Aggression
from:* There are 2 situations in which aggression between dogs occur.
* 1-When one dog is unfamiliar with another dog. * 2-Aggression
between familiar dogs that live in the same household.
* Dogs may encounter other dogs while their owners are walking
them. A dog that is not well-socialized might have dominant body
language and stare other dogs straight in the eyes, which is
conceived to be a direct challenge. Dog's that are otherwise
friendly when not on a leash will more likely bark and lunge at
another dog.
* To avoid these confrontations owners should stay alert and
keep their dog on a short leash. They should have voice control
at all times and not let their dog sniff or come in contact with
another dog. To prevent aggression when a dog is on a leash is
to train the dog early on he can't visit with every canine he
meets. Owners should also teach their dog to sit and wait for
permission before approaching another dog. They should also
train their dog not to pull on the leash. Behavior and basic
obedience training along with voice control can help in
preventing aggression and fights.
* Along with keeping their dogs on a leash and with proper
training owners can also avoid fights by keeping their dogs from
roaming free, neutering them before one year of age, and start
socializing their dogs when they are in the puppy stage between
5 and 10 weeks of age.
* There are 4 behavioral clues to look for if a fight is
threatening to start: * 1-A stern, deliberate, and targeted
stare. * 2-Body language; the tail held stiffly up or down; lips
pulled tight against the teeth. * 3-Rigid body movement. * 4-A
dominating posture stance.
* When dogs first meet they tend to establish a social hierarchy
and determine whose top dog. They become involved in loud
barking and growling. Sometimes the aggression escalates and a
fight ensues where one dog latches on to another dog.
* If you intervene don't put your hands or get between them to
avoid getting bitten yourself. If another person is there you
can take your dog by the tail or hind legs and the other person
takes the other dog and both pull back until one of the dogs
loosens its grip. You should then move away quickly. This can be
risky since dogs will sometimes bite whoever is hanging on to
them.
* Fights and aggression that occur between dogs in the same
household will be about those resources that are considered most
important to dogs. These include territory, possession, food,
sleeping-quarters, and favored people.
* Fights often come about over their sleeping territory near
their owners, treats, food, owner attention (or greeting the
owner upon return).
* Dogs of the same sex occur most often than those of the
opposite sex and seems to be most intense between female dogs.
Fights can also start between familiar dogs where one is
obviously dominant.
* There are some familiar characteristics when it comes to
fighting between dogs in the same household. * A-Adult dogs over
3 years old. * B-Dogs fight only when the owner is present. *
C-Dogs are of the same sex. * D-A clash often between dogs is
which one will be the dominant dog in the family pack.
* An owner might try punishment but typically this only promotes
more aggression and creates new problems. Any breed of dogs can
get into fights, and it depends more on the dogs training,
temperament, and socialization.
*Some fights can start so quickly the owner is caught off guard,
but many times you can spot behaviors that signal problems
ahead. Keeping a watch out for these signs can keep a fight from
starting.
*Of course the best approach is prevention and giving your dog
proper training and providing good leadership.
