NEW Dog Training Course

I bought this the other day and tried it out, and have to say it's the most well thought out product I have seen.

Most of the other so called dog training products, just give you the theory, and tell you what you should do. But the Dog Training Masters Home Study Course gives you the theory in over 5 hours of audio recordings with an expert dog trainer, and then helps you to create a detailed and specific Plan just for your dog. And you know what... it really worked for me.

Go check it out, and while you are there I highly reccommend you get the free audio that's on offer before he takes it down.

Have fun

Build a lifelong relationship of trust:

Few dog owners realize that by training their pets, they are actually investing in a lifelong relationship based on confidence, trust and friendship. In fact, it’s a surefire way of communicating with your dog and of sharing a common language. The more you teach or train him, the more you will get out of your special friendship as this will make him a better friend, more confident and secure and trusting too.

In the next report, the last of the mini-course, I will give your a few T*ips on getting a well behaved dog.

So I hope all is well for you

Fighting fear aggression: To get over this problem, your Dog pup needs to be trained in a puppy kindergarten class where he will be given obedience training. Here, he should learn his lessons with the use of positive reinforcement training methods.  By this we mean that the pup be praised, given  and positive attention for good behavior. He should also be socialized or exposed to various social situations in a positive light.

Or maybe

Don’t give in to him easily. Does he want something to eat or drink? First, make him sit. Then, let him work for it.

he could just do a trick or two for it. The idea is that aggression breeds aggression. If he is aggressive with you, he needs

to learn to accept it from you too. This doesn’t mean you punish him as that will only worsen the problem.

http://top-ideas-online.com/Free_Dog_Training/potty-training-your-puppy.htm

the solution

If you have more than one Dog that experience this problem, lies in leaving them to sort out their differences.

Usually, they don’t take long to resolve their differences. So, if you interfered only to expedite the solution, it will only

aggravate the problem, with no solution in sight.

Cage rage:

You cage your pet for no reason for indiscriminately long periods. And what do you expect? First of all, anger. Then, the

feeling in your Dog that the cage belongs to him. This feeling comes out of caging your pet and then forgetting all about

him. This angers him and he flares up. Further, he feels trapped and immobile when the whole world is doing things and

happily too! So, he stays in his cage and fights the way he knows best.

http://dogtrainingmastery.com/Free_Dog_Training/dog-obedience-training.htm
http://top-secrets-online.com/Dog_Training/dog-psychology.htm

As time passes, he develops a territorial feeling about his space and no longer wants a

game. He feels cheated by the fact that the very family who professed to love him ignores

him now and is happy to leave him in chains. One day, when he can’t tolerate it any longer,

he reaches out and bites the person closest to him.

If you, as a pet owner, cannot have your Dog around the house, mingling with your family,

then please don’t bring him home.

the vet first

If your Dog strikes you as being very aggressive, send him to , if only to

rule out physical causes. For instance, if your Dog is in great pain or discomfort, he may

demonstrate this by being very mean or irritable. But before you get into figuring his

behavior out, first determine that he is physically fit.

Degrees of shyness:

There are degrees of shyness in Dogs that forms the root cause of various temperament

problems. If he’s just a little shy, he may not be suited for the show ring, but he’s the

perfect family pet. But if he’s very shy, he can be very aggressive and can end up biting

too, unless firmly handled. When this happens, your Dog is said to display “fear

aggression.” Such Dogs may also suffer from another temperament problem—separation anxiety.

Aggression in Chihuahua's- Dominance

§ Obedience classes: Here, put yourself first. Even if you go with your pet, be the first to walk through the door, first up the stairs, first to enter class, etc. Don't give him the option of figuring out when he wants to be a pet, or when he wants to be the first in the car. Don't let him tower over you, either while sitting or standing i.e. don't sit while he stands on a chair or sofa or on the stairs. Height is a determinant of power and leadership position.

Don't give in to him easily. Does he want something to eat or drink? First, make him sit. Then, let him work for it. Or maybe he could just do a trick or two for it. The idea is that aggression breeds aggression. If he is aggressive with you, he needs to learn to accept it from you too. This doesn't mean you punish him as that will only worsen the problem.

Cage rage can also manifest itself as hyperactivity. This may just be a temporary reaction, which goes away the moment the dog's independence is restored to it.

One way of overcoming this is to attack the problem while in puppy hood. Begin by giving him something and then taking it back. After a while, return it to him. From this he will learn that though someone may have what he wants, if he is patient, it will come back to him. To make it easier for him, teach him to respond to "give." more...

§ Possession aggression: This happens when we make the mistake of going over to our pet while he's eating. Your Chihuahua probably interprets your presence as your coming over to take back his bowl of food-something he will never want to part with! This feeling stems from the basic fact that dogs don't share their things. Such a dog usually guards his possessions-whether they are his food, toys or even his master.

§ Chained reaction: This is the combination of fear and territorial aggression as a result of chaining a dog. New pet owners take in a dog and then chain him up for long hours a day while he watches the rest of the family go about its business from where it lies chained. This builds up a feeling of anger and resentment in him and he expresses this by barking, jumping on those around him, particularly kids who enjoy this. They laugh at him and then go away, ignoring him once more. more...

Think of the Chihuahua who growls at you when you pick up his toy or ask him to get off the sofa. When he bites you in response, he is responding to the aggression that has built up inside him. So, to explain to such dogs that this is not the right response is an onerous task. more...

This is chiefly a reaction out of his fear and anxiety, the feeling of not being confident in his own environment. more...
