How to stop my dog from being aggressive toward me

[ma0641]

You enroll in a training course, Doggie college. Depending on the bloodline, it may be easy or hard.

''Dog training'' is 80% training of the human. A loving owner knows that a dog (puppy, especially) is going to play aggressively, and to be with humans, they need gentle but consistent training each day, with hugs and treats and belly rubs as rewards for being 'good.' They also need chew toys just for them, to exercise their jaws.

Aggression can happen for many reasons, but in my experience aggression towards an owner is usually caused by the owner.

I would definitely suggest training for both you and the dog, because it's not just the dog that has to learn.

If your dog is aggressive towards you, possibly he/she is only acting out because they are receiving unfavourable signs from you from whatever they are doing that you think is not appropriate. Are you slapping your pet for inappropriate behaviour? If so, this is not the way to start a good relationship with your pet. Suggest you both enrol in an obedience school training session where you both can learn how to relate to each other.
