Dogs are not children. They cannot be reasoned with (but sometimes neither can kids!), and you need to reach them on a level they can understand. Some dogs take to positive training well, and that's all they need to be well behaved. However, when a dog gets possessive and violent, as it appears the original poster's dog has, and all the affection and love in the world isn't going to correct his bad behavior, it can be time to use physical (but not abusive) correction to break the dog out of its aggression. |
You may want to know I train as a profession. and work aaggression every day and that which you use on them you get back.
You can not break a dog out of aggression you can kill it though.
You8 are very wrong love and work to train and aggtressive dog and so can postive. Have a long hard look at Control unleashed book or click to calm or anything by pat millar or Dr. overall.
