Hi Yunus,
The most important thing to do when dealing with dogs who bite or are aggressive towards people is to understand why they are behaving this way. Once you do you can put measures into place to address their behaviour and start to calm things down. For example some dogs don’t like being approached by strangers and having their personal space invaded, it can leave them feeling vulnerable, so asking people not to approach your dog will help if this is a contributing factor.

Hi Rene,
Addressing unwanted behaviours in our dogs should always be done in a way that allows the dog to learn what behaviours are expected of them. The best approach when doing this is to be really clear and calm in your actions so as not to add stress or excitement to the situations. The information you give your dog may need to be different depending on the behaviour and situation they are in. For example verbally scolding or getting angry or upset with a dog for their behaviour can actually be really counterproductive and make their behaviour worse. They need to be able to understand exactly which behaviour they need reign in and if you are not clear in doing this or providing the right environment for learning then it can lead to confusion and frustration on their part. We take a lot of care in providing owners with the strategies and techniques to help overcome a vast range of unwanted behaviours, effectively and for the long-term.

Hi Phyllis, yes there is hope and believe it or not I have worked with quite a few dogs who were protective of their owner. In most cases it all boils down to your dog believing that he is entitled to keep other rival males from approaching his female. Sounds a bit odd I know but in the minds of our dogs it’s perfectly sensible! If your husband approaches you make sure that he ignores your dog, especially avoiding eye contact. If your dog growls at your husband as he approaches then I would recommend placing your dog out of the room for a minute or two, and only allow him back in when he is silent for a few seconds first. This is all about showing him that you decide who gets to approach you and if he tries to intervene then he will lose you. There is no need to tell him off or get upset, just let your calm and consistent actions do the work for you. He will learn that if he wants to stay with you then he had better behave appropriately!

Hi Susan, it’s really hard to provide a detailed solution to any behavioural issue in a short Blog post. The best long-term approach is to deal with the cause of the behaviour so that dogs no longer feel the need to exhibit those behaviours in the first place. My website TheOnlineDogTrainer.com shows you very clearly how to achieve this as we have a very detailed section on Aggression…maybe take a quick look…its a $1 trial for 3 days…all the best Doggy Dan
