By its very nature, a dog is an aggressive animal. Aggression is necessary to not only hunt, but also to protect territory and resources, and mate successfully. Breeding has diminished this behavior immensely over the centuries. However, dogs remain more than able to inflict serious injury on humans, other dogs, and themselves.
If you are attempting to properly train an aggressive dog, you are actually trying to reprogram mother nature’s hard-wiring of your dog’s brain. That doesn’t mean that the task is impossible – not in the least. As dog-owners, there are numerous things we could do, to effectively subdue and train dangerous, aggressive behavior out of your dog.
1) It is vital that you socialize your dog. By doing this, you are getting your dog to learn through their experience with humans(other than you) and other dogs. In addition, this conditions your dog to easily accept and deal with new situations and people without fear or anxiety – two factors that rear their ugly heads in the form of aggressive behavior. Socializing your dog is more of a consistent concerted effort, rather than strict regimental training.
2) Seriously consider group dog-behavior classes. These are a great opportunity for your dog to interact with other dogs and humans, as well. Ideally, these types of classes will be initiated when your dog is still a puppy or quite young. Often, an unruly, imbalanced dog will be turned away from such group-classes, because they pose a danger to the other dogs, their owners, and themselves. If this is the case, you and your aggressive dog will be better suited for intensive on-the-leash obedience training with specialists experienced in dealing with these particular dog-behavior problems.
3) Don’t waste any more time waiting for the perfect solution to your dog’s aggressive behavior to fall in your lap. Get ahold of a system, guide, or program and stick to it. Training the aggression out of your dog doesn’t have to be a tall order. However, the longer you wait, and the older your dog gets, the harder training your dog not to be aggressive will be.
A Mastiff puppy aggressively toying with the cat might make for a great photo, but a full-grown Mastiff doing the same with someone’s baby definitely is not. An aggressive adult dog is the result of dog-owners that relish the spontaneous, “cute” behavior of their puppies, yet completely fail their dogs, by hindering their mental development with a lack of discipline. This is a recipe for a dangerous, destructive situation to arise. In addition, your dog continues to struggle with aggression, anxiety, and confusion around other dogs and humans(often your own family). They are yelled at or scolded, but they will NEVER realize why.
All too often, the laziness and ineptness of the dog-owner results in a tragic accident involving their dog. Thousands of dogs are destroyed every year, because of attacks on humans or other dogs. These incidents are readily attributed to the particular breed being “naturally dangerous and aggressive”. That is a cop-out, actually better translated as certain dog-owners being “naturally lazy and irresponsible”. There’s no way around it. The training of your dog has everything to do with the training of YOU and vice versa. If you aren’t fully prepared for the investment of effort, money, time, patience, furniture, frustration, and love that is necessary to properly rear a dog, please do the world a favor – don’t get a dog.

In order to calm down your dog, aggressive dog behavior training may be needed. Implementing certain techniques can get rid of aggressive behavior. This will decrease potential danger created by your dog and her accompanying attitude. Check out these tricks.
Aggressive dog behavior training Techniques:
Do not make this mistake. Beating, spanking, hitting or whipping should not be used. In aggressive dog behavior training, physical abuse will not calm down the attitude your dog has, but it will only instill fear in her. This will never encourage good behavior out of your dog. So using physical force to break her roughness must not be a tactic used. Your dog needs to know you are the boss of all bosses, but in a loving way. Take your dog out for alot of exercise. Burn off your dogs energy. This will definitely calm down his nature. Consider taking taking your dog running. Play frisbee or catch. Or take your dog for a nice long walk through the neighborhood. But Do Not Plat Tug With Your Dog! I see alot of owners doing this with their dogs, giving them ropes and having them tug at it with their teeth. This is a no no in aggressive dog behavior training. Tugging Only encourages a stronger attitude and can lead to BITING and being just too rough. Avoid this if you want a calm dog. If you want a mean terror dog that scares everyone he sees, then by all means give him a rope, tie it to your car and drive 100 miles per hour….. Just kidding. Keep your dog out in the open with the family. Dogs are very social animals and they like to be part of the family, so give them tons of loving attention. Don’t keep them caged up all the time. Certain times it is appropriate to have your dog confined to a crate, but that should only be for a few hours. When you do have your dog caged, make sure it is in a nice environment with water, food, toys and a doggy mat so they can feel as cozy as possible.

It is difficult for a dog owner to decide as to when to get their dog neutered. If the dog owner does not want the dog to breed and feels that it is best to neuter the pet for good health and well-being, they should proceed with the surgery.
Plan to neuter you male puppy as it begins growing up. Generally dogs enter puberty at six months of age. It would be better if the dog is neutered a little before this age.
It certainly isn’t advisable to carry out surgery on a newly born puppy. The best age to get a puppy neutered is before it attains sexual maturity. As a pup matures, its ********* descend fully which is essential for performing surgery. Professionals recommend neutering between the age of three and six months.
Many dog owner feel that neutering the puppy too soon could affect the physical development and personality negatively. In fact, it is the opposite. Early neutering prevents aggressive behavior which can become part of a dog’s nature.
There is another myth that surrounds neutering: that neutered dogs do not make playful companions. This is certainly not true. Being playful comes naturally to canines. So your dog will continue to remain playful whether it is neutered or not.
When you purchase a dog, check with the breeder its exact age. As this will be beneficial as you decide when to neuter the puppy. A breeder can supply you with the useful information and tips regarding caring of puppy according to its breed.
If you are not planning to breed your pup, take his opinion on when and where to get the pup neutered. Reputable breeders will have excellent information about the dogs’ personality and health conditions. So you are likely to get information if there are some breed-specific suggestions for your puppy.
Of course, not everyone purchases dogs from breeders. Some may adopt a dog from the street or a shelter. Here you will not have the advantage of knowing the dogs’ age. Fortunately, most shelters have the pets neutered before sending it out for adoption. Discuss this with them before you adopt. A veterinarian will help you make a guess about your pets’ age as well.

Playing with your puppy can be fun, but there comes a point when your puppy is too aggressive. Some puppy’s hostile behavior can be genetic, but a good portion of it is how the puppy is handled.
Here are 4 tips to help keep your puppy from becoming too violent.
1) Do not manhandle the dog. This is hostile behavior on your part and only teaches the puppy that aggressive behavior is the only way to get what you want. The puppy will respond in kind when they want something.
2) When you do want your puppy to give you things, a ball or chew toy, teach them. By using command words you can train your dog to do a variety of things to include giving you whatever they have in their mouth. If you try and grab it or force it from the puppy, this reverts back to tip one. Training your puppy also encourages obedient behavior and establishes commands are to be obeyed, not negotiated.
3) Use your voice in a firm but non-angry manner when using command words. And when you touch the puppy it should always be in a positive manner; never strike or yell at the puppy for punishment. This instills fear not obedience. Fear can often lead to aggressive behavior later.
4) When your puppy acts inappropriately, reprimand with a firm “no” – but in a non-angry manner. Stand your ground if the puppy is misbehaving. If you over-react you are likely to create a puppy that feels they can win if they just push hard enough. Do not fight back, but be firm as to what your expectations are. Teach the puppy your commands are non-negotiable.
Dogs are pack animals and they naturally understand the concept of Alpha or leader. However, the Alpha of the pack does not have to be aggressive, nor is it the leader constantly questioning their ability. The best way to ensure you have an obedient dog is to train your puppy that you are the leader.
The best way to be the puppy’s leader is by being firm but not cruel with your expectations. Be fun, kind, playful and loving often with your puppy, but also make sure your puppy understands what you think is proper behavior. You will accept nothing else, not if the puppy wants you to play.
