How do I train a aggressive puppy to not bite?

lab puppy training secrets
We took our 6 month old cocker spaniel, dachuhand mix to PetSmart’s Puppy Kindergarden. The other dogs where fine around each other but our dog, on the other hand, would sniff the other dog and lash out showing his teeth and growling. He thinks he is in charge! Help! He was the worst dog there!

Sounds like he was not properly socialized when he was younger. Get with your trainer on how to handle that sort of behavior.

I would seek out a different training facility, as Petsmarts aren’t the best places to handle these sort of things. We had a dog in the puppy kindergarten class that we had our border collie in recently who was very much the same. He came a long way during the class with personal help from the trainer. Seek out a better option for training with someone who is willing to help you on handling this.

Does he snap at you or other people? I think socializing him under supervised conditions is the best thing to do, and give him a treat when he is with other dogs and not showing aggressiveness. He seems to be trying to show his superiority, and if he hasn’t acted that way around you yet, he probably will. Doing things to show YOU are in charge will probably help. Try taking his food from him while he’s eating, make him sit, then give it back. I also do this with my Doberman when he’s chewing a bone, and he shows no aggression. If he still has a problem with other dogs, grab a friend who has a dog and all of you go on a long walk together, keeping enough distance between the dogs so they can’t smell eachother until the end of the walk. It sounds weird, but it seems to work.

This might be a common sence case of possession of something, either u or something else see whats making her do that.
To it tame its aggressiveness, play a lot of pulling games(u kno like a tug of war thing) and running so that the dog can use its energy and also have fun! when it comes near other dogs it might seem as they are going to bit they are just curious in a way and scared! its like introducing humans to the planet of the apes!

Hope my advice helps!

I read somewhere that you can show the dog who is boss by lying him on his back and not letting him get up untill he stopped wiggeling. But i would deffinetly try to socialize the pup more and consider a trainer! I recomend going to pet smart its well priced and they really know what they are talking about. I also found petsmart to be better than petco.

You have to pull him back and say the magic word, “NO” “BAD DOG” It may not think he’s in charge he might be a little scared, and seeing all those other dogs can scare a puppy. That’s waht my puppy did. When she got there and saw all those dogs, she froze, and whenever any other dog came near she growled. If a puppy is about to attempt to do something naughty, you can either growl right back at them, or say no. Just becuase a puppy’s face all of sudden begs for mercy, you can’t take their magic touch. You ahve to be strict, ever wise your puppy will get you by that adorable face. You have to be strict for a puppy. Like my dog, he may also just be trying to protect you.
