Wouldn't be nice to know the "exact" cause
why your dog barks, pulls on the leash, lunges, growls, attacks,
or shies away as soon as he sees another dog? Well, keep reading.
You're in for a big surprise. * Your dog always lunges
and attacks other dogs and doesn’t exactly know HOW to behave.
Like a barbarian, it’s totally normal for him to act this
way. He is thinking to himself, “It doesn’t really
matter if the other dog is small, big, black, white, friendly
or vicious. I always lose it when I run into other dogs. It’s
fun, it keeps me alive, and nobody has been able to stop me so
far. I sure have that spice in me. Rrrrrruf!” * Your dog has must’ve been attacked by a dog in the past and was injured or traumatized very badly. This incident was enough for him losing total trust and confidence in people. You see, when you or someone else couldn’t protect your poor dog from another dog, he had to find a way to protect himself. So now he anticipates another dog attack. This is why he tries to at least act tough to scare the other dogs away. And can you blame him? * You have been avoiding any dog you came across by changing routes on your walks, or by taking your dog out really late at night or super early in the morning. That out of sight out of mind thing doesn’t always work now, does it? * You spot another dog on your walk, and without missing a beat, immediately pat your pooch and say, “It’s okaaaaaaay. Be good now. It’s a nice doggie.” But, here’s the problem: by doing so, you are unknowingly making your dog more nervous and even aggressive toward other dogs. The reason is simple. Your dog sees you as the weak and less confident one of the pack. It’s even worse if your dog is charging, snapping, barking and growling the entire time, and you keep petting him assuming that might calm him down. This only translates to: “Go ahead. Kill ’em.” Even if you correct your dog by tugging on its leash while saying, “NO,” you are STILL not crystal clear with your words and actions. * Your dog USED to be friendly toward
all dogs, but you slacked off on dog activities, daily walks,
etc. And now, all of a sudden he doesn’t know exactly how
to behave politely around dogs that he hasn’t seen or met
before. * Your dog whines and whimpers to
trick you into thinking that all it wants to do is play and have
fun with the other dog. But when you get close enough, he goes
for the kill. Very unpredictable AND sneaky! * Your dog never lost a dog fight
in his entire life and always managed to intimidate, bully and
lunge at every dog he met and actually got away with it. He probably
sent a few dogs to the hospital and sees himself as undefeated.
The bigger the other dog, the more of a challenge; the bigger
the fight, and of course, the more the pay per view. * Your pooch is dying to play or
interact with the other dog, but doesn’t really know HOW.
So he gets mad at you, mad at the other dog, at the leash, at
your training tool and at the world! This could be a dog that
once he manages to get loose, regardless of how aggressive he
acts, just might lick the other dog to death to show his affection.
* Your dog gets aggressive only when he is on a leash. This kind of behavior is also very likely due to fear and frustration in an attempt to keep the other dogs away. Think about it. Your dog is not stupid and notices that when he acts this way, you or the other dog owner always pull back and not let the dogs interact with one another. Your dog knows very well that he can’t do much while being
restrained by a leash. So since his movements are limited, why
not act like a maniac. It is much safer and smarter. Basically,
each bark and growl is telling you: “Let me go. Let me go,
Mommy. I can take him. Let me show you what I can do. Let me put
him on the news for you.” But you know your dog better than
anyone and swear that he falls under the “all bark and no
bite” category. Protective or Aggressive? Here's the Difference! Be honest! Do you consider every person and every dog you run
into as real threat to yourself or your dog? Some of those poor
dogs are just half your dog’s size. A few of them are the
same size as your dog’s head. Some are just wagging their
tail with a big smile on their face dying to play with your dog.
But your psycho dog acts as if he wants to kill them for even
looking in your direction. One of the biggest mistakes that you can make is automatically assume that if your pooch loves your other dog, your friends' dog or even the dog next door, that it will act remain dog-friendly with every dog for the rest of his life. The truth is, some will, but most will not. Conclusion: You must be able to get your dog's full attention around friendly dogs, aggressive dogs, hyper dogs, dogs that keep on barking and even animated dogs. Don't forget. Truly aggressive dogs are a lot like serial killers; they rarely go on a killing spree of their friends or relatives. Their victims are usually complete strangers.
Written by International Trainer and Dog Psychologist, Kevin "The Dog Prodigy" Taken from Kevin's Book, "Hidden Secrets Behind Dog Training" We all die. The goal isn't to live forever, the goal is to create something that will.” --Chuck Palahniuk
This Book Gives You a Totally New Perspective About: 1. Yourself - Your thoughts, beliefs and perception
of your current and previous dogs. Book's Description: This book takes a deeper look at modern dog training and canine psychology while it also introduces you to the next level and the future of training and canine behavior modification—“The Diverse Method.” Think about it. If there are more than four hundred different breeds of dogs in this world, how can they possibly all respond to only one way of training? Have you ever considered that fact? You see, every dog was bred specifically for a purpose. So for any expert to argue that you can train EACH AND EVERY ONE with just Positive Reinforcement or Negative Reinforcement show their arrogance, lack of experience and diversity. The secret is to follow a "Diverse Reinforcement" because, just as with humans, dogs don't always respond to a strictly positive or negative approach. Here's where it gets more interesting. All dog trainers know this, but don't or can't teach it in their training method. !!! Now Did I Get Your Attention??? !!! Look, you are definitely NOT going to be safe, smart or successful if you rely on just one way of training as a crutch. The key to greatness is to arm yourself with different training techniques that will prepare you for ANY dog, despite their age, size, strengths, intelligence, past history or personality. Again, I am talking about being "Diverse" because no method and no training tool is guaranteed to work in every situation and on every dog. That's just a fact! This is one of those rare books that will make you smile, make you laugh, make you think and even challenge you to push yourself far beyond your leash or your bag of treats. It is filled with life lessons along with my incredible journey with dogs from all walks of life. If you are the sensitive type, you may get a few lumps in your throat. I've spent a decade writing this book, which inspired me to learn something new from every dog, every owner and every trainer I've encountered. So, in a way, the book has grown with me. My hope is that when you finish it, both you and your dog will be able to communicate with one another much more effectively. --Kevin "The Dog Prodigy"
Ever since he was young, Kevin has been able to relate and communicate with dogs in a very special way. You know when you meet a natural. We’ve all seen one. These individuals are rarely taught, but rather born. In over two decades of working with different breeds, he has successfully trained well over 10,000 dogs worldwide, earning him the nickname,“The Dog Prodigy.” He is one of those rare experts in his field who has the knowledge and the expertise to accept challenging cases that the majority of dog schools simply don’t want to deal with. We are referring to “red zone dogs,” and those already given up on by many trainers, veterinarians and even animal behaviorists. He is proud of saving hundreds of these dogs from abandonment, shelters, or worse, euthanasia. Kevin gained his experience from studying and practicing different methods of training. To expand his knowledge even further, he also compared the strengths and weaknesses of different theories from more than a hundred books on dog training, dog behavior, and canine psychology. Mr. Salem currently operates his school, Dog Secrets, where
he offers house calls not only throughout the US, but globally.
