One of the hardest problems some dog owners face is when they have an aggressive dog. Not only is it hard to be around an aggressive dog but it can be dangerous as well. The first step to correcting aggressive behavior in dogs is to figure out what sets them off. Is your dog exhibiting aggression towards other dogs? If your dog is showing dog on dog aggression then one of the ways to relieve this problem is by making sure your dog's attention is not on the dog he is passing. If you know anything about dog training and dog training commands then you might be familiar with the command "Watch Me". This is a great command to use when your dog is getting near another dog because what the command means is for your dog to look you in the eye and give you his full attention. If you are able to get your dogs attention on you then you have a great chance that they will walk right by the other dog without getting aggressive. You also want to make sure your dog cannot make direct eye contact with the other dog. When dogs make eye contact with each other they are challenging each other to prove who the leader is. This can be a major cause of aggression if both dogs think they are king of the hill. Another way your dog might be aggressive is with his food. Some dogs will get aggressive when they are eating and get very territorial. If you dog is aggressive when he is eating then you need to make sure children are not around him anytime he has food or a bone. One way to curb you dogs food aggression is to make sure he does not eat his meal before or at the same time you and your family eat. This will make your dog understand that he is not in charge which is needed if you plan on getting rid of your dogs aggressive behavior.
