Aggressive Dog Training For Your Aggressive Dog

When a dog becomes overly aggressive, when he starts snarling, baring his teeth, and biting, he becomes a concern to everyone who comes in contact with him.
Sadly, it's through no fault of the dog's that he has learned to behave this way.
Dogs become aggressive because of the way they've been treated.
If the dog has been abused, teased, reprimanded too often, chained all the time, and neglected, he's going to start acting aggressive in his interactions with humans and even other dogs.
The only way to gentle him once he's learned these behaviors is by gently and firmly teaching him that the behaviors are inappropriate using aggressive dog training methods.
The ideal time to teach dogs the appropriate types of behavior is during puppy-hood.
Taking the time to train them when they're young will save you a lot of problems later on.
During the period from birth to 6 months, your puppy should be exposed to all kinds of people wearing all kinds of hats, glasses, and other items he's bound to see during his life.
That way he can learn to deal with all of them without showing excessive aggression.
As the owner, if any signs of aggression start to occur, you need to teach him other, more appropriate behaviors.
At this stage, time-outs work well.
Tell your puppy "No", and then close him into a room for about 30 seconds.
This will help him learn to follow your expectations.
In order to change aggressive behavior in adult dogs, you first need to determine what it is that sets off the behaviors.
For example, if you dog starts snarling, barking, and snapping when he sees another dog while you have him outside walking on his leash, you will know that strange dogs trigger his aggressive behaviors.
At this point, you'll want to start carrying treats, such as chunks of ham, with you when walking.
When you see another dog, give your pooch a piece of ham to get his attention off the other dog.
You will have to repeat this procedure many times, but eventually he will understand that meeting another dog means good things and won't be intimidated by the situation any longer.
Always keep your voice firm yet controlled.
You are never going to counteract your dog's fears by yelling at him or disciplining him harshly.
If you remain patient with him and are consistent in the training of his aggressive behavior, you'll find that he will learn to calm down and become the loving pet you know he really is inside.
