Aggressive Dogs

Hey guys, tonight we are talking about aggressive dogs, and what can be done. I wish I had a dime for every person that has said that they were thinking about putting their dog down if they could not get them under control.
We need to think about our dogs in the following way.
Animal
Dog
Breed
Name
Almost all types of aggression in dogs are a result of something else in their life, and aggression is just the end result. One of the best things we can do as dog owners, is to establish ourselves as true pack leaders in our homes. Dogs do not follow weak people, or weak dogs. When we are in control of our dogs in a way that the dog understands, it is much easier to get them in control. Dogs are looking for direction, and always respond well to the right person. Training should begin often and early. Socializing our dogs with other dogs and people at an early age will help. If your dog is aggressive towards people, or other dogs it is not too late. It is our responsibility to give them the education they need to have a well balanced life.
The dogs in the following picture wanted to kill each other every time they saw each other. After only a couple of sessions, the owners stepped up, and with calm assertiveness they took charge of the dogs, and within a few hours we were in the house for the first time with the dogs together. As you can see from the photo, all it took to get things started was calm assertive pack leaders that were willing to listen for the good of their dogs.
