Aggressive hound dog

by Bryan W.
(Charlotte NC)

My dog barks and growls at every person he sees when i take him for walks. If a friend comes to the house he will growl and bark but he keeps his distance. We rescued him two weeks ago and he is great with the kids,dog and cat. We can grab his food while he is eating without a problem. He will attack the other animals if they are eating food but my other dog can take treats right out of his mouth and he does nothing. He shares all his toys with no problem. How do i get him to be friendly with other people?

by: Adam G. Katz

"You're going to want to give him a motivational correction-- but not one that's too motivational, otherwise there is a the possibility of him becoming defensive. I detail how to do this more explicitly in my "Secrets" book that you can download at "DogProblems.com" right now for $1."


Here's what I advise:

1. Get a muzzle.

2. Teach the dog obedience exercises, so that he learns he must hold a sit-stay and down-stay, regardless of distractions.

3. Make him hold these commands (gradually) around more stimulating environments. If he shows aggression, correct him back into the sit-position. All while you're working with him or in public, he should be wearing the muzzle until you get him so that he's not longer showing the aggression.

4. Work boundary training exercises, which will quickly teach him what "No" means.

5 Use the "No" command if he shows any aggression.

Right now, he either doesn't understand what "No!" means; Or he doesn't trust that you'll keep him safe.
