Aggression

Hey guys, just wanted to check in, and tell everyone about a dog I have been training. The dog in the photo is Lycan, and he was a very aggressive 117 pound dog that wanted to kill anyone or any animal in sight. There are many types of aggression that can be displayed from dogs. They all have their own personalities, and dispositions. This dog turned out to be a very good dog. The owner who was a petite girl, was giving the dog all kind of affection, but at the wrong times, and in the wrong order. The dog had been raised for several years with no rules, boundaries, or limitations. The first time I saw the dog, it tried to come through a sliding glass door to kill me. However, I soon realized that this dog was acting out of instinct from a lack of training. The dog had become the pack leader, and was protecting the pack with his life. After helping the owner to step up, and take charge of the dog, it did not take long for the dog to see itself as a follower of the pack not a leader. The dog is doing much better, and the owner has a new confidence that puts her in the front of the pack. Remember, "If you are not in the front of the pack, the view never changes".
