Dog Aggression

Tonight, we are going to talk about training our dogs while being in a state of calm assertive energy. When people get angry with their dogs, and yell at them, or spank them, they are doing an injustice to themselves and their dogs. That energy is passed through the leash, and right into the dog. This can lead to aggression in dogs down the road. As a dog trainer, I see this type of behavior far too often. I do understand that owners get frustrated with their dogs, mostly because the owners are untrained. The key to a well balanced dog is rules, boundaries, and limitations along with exercise, discipline, and affection (in that order). If you watch a good dog trainer, you will notice that there is not a lot being said, but you can see the respect that they have for each other. That is accomplished through trust! You may get a dog to do some stuff for you because he is afraid of you, but that is not what we are looking for. We want a well balanced dog that is a wonderful addition to our families. Look at this picture of me, and my dog Dozer. If you are not sure about the point I am trying to make, look at this photo. This is what we want between owner and dog.
