Aggressive Chihuahua, Beagal, And Wiener Dog Mix

by Vanessa
(Arnold, Mo.)

My 1 year old mix Tippy is very aggressive around other dogs. He even got loose one day and tried to take on a bigger dog and lost which resulted in a vet bill and a few stitches.

It took 6 months to potty train him. I've grown very much attached to him but just recently bit my 3 year old son, Now my son I believe to a point instigated it by trying to take away his rawhide toy.

I'm working on teaching my son, Yet more importantly I need to make sure my dog doesn't bite my son again or worse next time, I don't want to have to get rid of my dog.

I've also noticed my dog trying to take food from my son and I'm very worried!

Can anyone help give me some advice?

Thank you

Vanessa

Correcting Your Dog's Aggression
by: Adam

Hi, Vanessa:

First: You'll want to keep your dog in a crate or a kennel run, when you're not home. Something to make sure that he doesn't get out.

Secondly, I'd recommend learning how to give a leash correction with the training collar-- and then work your dog around your son, with the dog wearing a muzzle. You need to make sure that your child is safe, but at the same time, the dog needs to learn that this behavior is unacceptable.

And finally: Put your dog on a "Nothing In Life Is Free" program, which you can read more about at Dogproblems.com
