Dog Training: Hidden Psychological Review - Part 4
Dog Training
TIP: Apply these techniques if you're not already doing so...
Hey Dog Loving Friend,
As you know...I've a great respect for a blooming good technique.
Well, I've showed you the real importance of asserting yourself as the alpha dog.
Just a quick recap to jolt your memory...
Ideally you'd continue through out the life of your dog, and truth be known this is effective for any dog that tends to have a strong-willed temperament (like Beagles for example)
In particular, dominant aggressive dogs, it really pays to not let them have the upper hand or edge because if they get the run of the house, this says that it's his alright to run loose.
That's one of many reasons why a kennel or a crate is so practical for training purposes.
If it is possible it would be a good idea to restrict access to anywhere that contains 'goodies', or anything else that could potentially be tempting...
Playful toys, etc, should be a privilege, not something that your dog may wish to destroy!
Having said that, I mean you should still give your dog toys, because let's face it, he should be allowed to chew on something.
Case study: A while back I was training a 12 week Staffordshire Terrier puppy, and he was very loving most of the time but would challenge you at any opportunity.
Especially if you tried to take anything from him that he was having fun with!
So how things turned out...he soon found that I was a much scarier dog.
You see, sometimes just saying “NO!” can be not as effective with some dogs...
But when you emphasize it with a growl or AARGHH or BAAH these sounds make more of a sharper, more effective growl when made deeply from the voice box.
He quickly realized this, and would still try and challenge me but would then remember how scary I was and then run away and roll over on his back in a submissive pose...
Eventually (having kept this up) I could take anything from him and he would be like thinking twice about being out of line.
I guess my point is, is that you really have to be more like a dominant dog yourself, bare your teeth and growl loudly.
You can also try shaking a can of pebbles to accompany the growl, it's non violent and loud, which makes a dog more aware of your intentions.
Thanks for reading, I appreciate you...talk soon.
Dog Training...success made easy and fun!
