How to Stop Dog Aggression - How to Stop a Dog from Biting

Stop Dog Aggression - Stop a Dog from Biting.  You give your dog so much loving attention and yet your dog has fear aggression.  He lunges at anything that moves while you're out walking with him.  How can this be?  Why do you have to learn how to stop dog aggression and how to stop a dog from biting?

Well, you may be surprised to learn that even when a dog is treated gently--but incorrectly--he can have fear aggression and dog biting problems so that you may have to learn how to stop dog aggression.

For example, when you greet your dog, your posture has a profound influence on your dog's behavior.  Here's how a person greets a dog to cause or reinforce fear aggression:  look him straight in the eye with your shoulders squared to him, lean over him, reach down from above, and pet him on the back of his neck.

One of my clients was doing that with her Jack Russell who shook so much that people thought she must be beating him!  Here's how she changed her greeting:  She squatted down, didn't stare at his eyes right awy, reached from the floor up to him and petted him on his chest and throat, not the back of his neck.  Her dog's submissive fear behaviors disappeared!

There are several motives for aggression in dogs.  When you are learning how to stop dog aggression and how to stop a dog from biting, you have to be careful to avoid simply switching motives.  For example, if you treat a dog's dominance aggression very harshly, he may then develop fear aggression problems!

Learn more about my methods on how to stop dog aggression and learn to stop a dog from biting without harsh methods like jerking and without gimmicks like squirting and clicking.

Here are a couple of my quotes that will tell you more about my philosophy of eliminating dog behavior problems like dog aggression and biting dogs:

"In dog training, 'jerk' is a noun and not a verb."

"Obedience training is great--but it will NOT solve behavior problems.  If you obedience-train a dog that bites, you then have a dog that Sits, Stays, Heels--and bites."

Dr. Dennis Fetko, "Dr. Dog"

If your dog is also pulling on his leash, here's a quick and very effective way to stop your dog's leash-pulling.

    Wow I had no idea that my body language could be used in dog training. I read in the past that I had to establish myself as the alpha dog, but no one really said that body language could be a crucial factor of the effectiveness of my dog training. Thanks for this tip!

    I am currently looking after a dog that is 9months old and has been abandoned and left in kennels for 8months of his life. he is very affectionate, but quiet which is understandable. the problem is when he is around other male dogs he tries to be very dominating and this causes fights. he is frowned upon by other dog owners because of his nature towards other dogs....how can i help fix this problem as it i am finding it hard to look after him. it is also cutting down the number of walks he is getting..he is a cross breed. i think he has a bit of greyhound in him and he has staffy colours(kind of tortoiseshell)....pls help

    Thanks for the info! It is also very helpful to try to put yourself in your dog's shoes to understand why the behavior is there to start with. When I started trying to think like my dog, I got a grip on the aggressiveness.
