aggressive boxer

by Peggy
(Palmer, Alasska)

My male boxer is eleven years old, loves people. I am his third owner, having adopted him 2 1/2 years ago.

Although he is obedient in the house, except for temporary overboard excitement when guests come into the house, when I take him out on a leash he is difficult to control. Inside the house he willingly enters his crate on command. I use this only as a temporary measure when his boisterousness can't be tolerated.

I do not walk him on the street, as we live in rural Alaska and the going is difficult during the winter. When we go to the vet he lunges at the other dogs and barks and snarls. I realize that this is my fault, as not only am I in my 80's but also I broke a hip just before adopting him. I have not been able to walk him enough for appropriate training. This has not mattered until now, as I have a huge fenced yard. However, I am planning to move to a suburban Pennsylvania area, and realize that something needs to be done quickly.

The personal trainer who came to the house was not a success, pinched at Spike's loin area to get his attention. It was an unpleasant session. I need some training tips that can be used IN the house during these dark and icy months. Please give me some advice.

The secret to making your dog’s problem behaviors disappear
by: Adrienne Farricelli

Hi dog lover,

No matter what your dog’s problem behavior is…

Be it jumping, peeing inappropriately, aggression, pulling on the leash…or whatever…

There is ONE SOLUTION that can help STOP this problem now

The sad fact is…

Most Dog trainers miss this solution entirely.

They give you cookie cutting training programs.

They use outdated and ‘mean’ dominance techniques.

Or worse yet…

They have no qualifications and are complete phonies.

So what’s the answer to stopping your Dog’s behavior problems?

In 4 simple words…

Discovering your dog’s hidden intelligence.

Let me explain…

In my 10 years as a certified trainer…there’s ONE BIG LESSON I have learned.

More intelligent dogs are better behaved.

A More intelligent dog takes commands easier

…and understands what you need from them.

The good news is…

No matter how clever you think your dog is.

You can >>>unlock their hidden intelligence quickly and easily.

>>>I’ll explain everything on this page.

Don’t waste a second longer coping with problem behaviors you don’t need to be dealing with.

How To Stop Dog Aggression

How To Stop Dog Aggression

If you want to understand how to stop dog aggression let me start by asking you two rhetorical questions!

Firstly do YOU start the aggression with your dog simply joining in?
Secondly does your dog listen to you just before it behaves the way it does when you try show it another way to behave?
The answer will of course be the following:

At the point your dog starts to become aggressive he is taking no notice at all of you.

He is making his own decisions and will not listen to you if you try to show him a different way to behave. What he is doing is simply too important to him and is the right thing to do. Dog aggression is nearly always done in order to protect, their pack and their own lives.

Firstly there is of course a whole range of different types of aggression from dominant to fearful and everything in between. Then there is aggression that occurs the whole time and other aggression, which is very erratic, and random depending on a number of differing factors. We could also look at what your dog is aggressive towards; it could be people, animals, other dogs or objects.

The way to stop dog aggression however is very much the same, or at least the cause of the problem is the same. Your dog thinks that it is the pack leader, becomes fearful and attacks to protect, you and himself. Dominant dogs will be more proactive, often attacking when they still have the option of running away, fearful dogs will only attack if they have no place to run. All the other factors pale into insignificance compared to this.

The most important concept to grasp if you want to understand how to stop dog aggression is that your dog must first look to you as the pack leader in the home. (This is the easiest place to convince him you are the decision maker.) Only then can you convince him that you are the pack leader on the walk. There are some fantastic video sites now that show you exactly how to become the pack leader.

Once you have convinced your dog that you are the pack leader outside then upon reaching the point where he usually is aggressive you will find that he will actually start to take notice of how you are behaving! If you aren’t then your dog will probably continue to ignore what you are doing at this point forever.

Just remember, dogs are pack animals and they follow the pack leader.

One of the best examples of a professional dog trainer putting this all into practice is The Online Dog Trainer. The site has live videos of this method being demonstrated and explains exactly how to stop dog aggression by simply convincing your dog that you are the pack leader.
