Why do so many
dogs get euthanized when their
owners could have taught them
not to bite?
When it comes to dog aggressiveness,
there are laws that state the
dog’s owner can be charged and
the dog put down if the dog bites
someone. Of course, with some
serious dog training, dogs can
be taught to enjoy people and
not be aggressive.
There are a number of reasons
why dogs become aggressive. The
dog may feel his territory is
being compromised, or he feels
threatened. A lot of dog aggression
comes from lack of confidence
and insecurity. Simple dog obedience
training will not solve your dog’s
aggressive problems, only some
serious dog training will do the
trick. Dog aggressiveness doesn’t
just mean biting; it means barking
and lunging at people as well.
This type of behavior needs to
be addressed as soon as possible
to prevent anything serious from
happening to a person, child or
another dog.
Aggressive behavior will not go
away without proper corrective
action from the owner and will
not get better as the dog ages.
The biggest mistake that owners
make is to excuse away aggressive
behavior for their dog or puppy,
and hope that the behavior is
outgrown. The behavior only worsens
with age.
A responsible dog owner will not
tolerate aggressive behavior from
a puppy or an adult dog. A well
socialized, bred and adjusted
puppy or dog will feel no need
to act aggressively. A dog that
acts this way demonstrates that
there is a problem with the dog’s
relationship to humans. Often
it is a case where the dog has
been taught (from puppy hood)
to act inappropriately in given
situations. Or the dog decides
that aggressive behavior is needed,
when it is not.
Dog attacks result due to the
lack of proper and positive training.
Some dog owners employ fear inducing
and painful training techniques.
Your dog will see this as life
threatening and resort to aggressive
actions in order to protect herself.
Others will bite out of fun and
when they are over excited. Both
cases are mostly as a result of
lack of positive training. So
if you don’t properly socialize
your dog with people or other
dogs, expect bites any time.
Most obedience and training schools
won’t take aggressive dogs as
most of the places run classes
with other members and won't let
them be endangered. If you want

As a dog owner, it is very important
that you socialize your dog. Socializing
your dog helps boost it's confidence
and reduces your dog’s fear and
nervousness in normal circumstances.
When you are introducing new things
to your dog, make sure that you
have him firmly under control.
Introduce your pup to different
people, dogs, children and environments.
Give lots of praise and treats
to reward proper behavior. Dog’s
are pack animals and view your
family as his pack. (Note: your
dog must be the on the lowest
rung of the pack hierarchy. All
humans in the family must be deemed
by your dog as his superiors).
If the dog is not properly socialized
with different people, she begins
to view all people that are outside
of the “pack”, with distrust.
You may believe your dog is friendly
by observing him with your family.
Your mailman may have a totally
different view on your dog’s demeanor.
:o) So get your dog out and about.
At the end of the day what counts
is that your dog stops attacking
and he starts loving. An aggressive
dog can halter the relationship
that you have with him therefore
you and your dog aren’t having
the best time together as you
are always worried about him biting
you, other people or other dogs.
I recommend that you do what it
takes to get the problem sorted!
