Dog Aggression Resources & Hotlines
Dogs were meant to live in a pack and follow a leader. Are you giving your dog the signals that let him know you are in control and will keep him safe? Much of the stress and aggression in canines is a result of confusion. They don't feel like there is a clear leader to give them instructions. Without consistent training, dogs can experience behavior problems.
Being in control means feeling confident. This confidence comes from training and letting our dogs know what we expect from them and what is acceptable.
A leader does not need to use harsh physical corrections!They just need to give clear signals to ensure their dog feels calm and protected. If we don't, the dog thinks they need to protect us.
Frightening experiences can make owners and dogs apprehensive. If you have created patterns of behavior that are scary and embarrassing, there are humane and fun ways to change that. Training your dog will change the owner's and dog's emotional response.
