Aggressive Dog Behavior: You Better Take Charge of Your Dog if You Rather Be Safe Than Sorry

Aggressive dog behavior can be very dangerous. It should never be taken lightly. An aggressive dog is a dog that has become dominant and will continue to act out until he is properly trained to change his behavior.

Dog aggression does not happen overnight. Usually aggressive dogs become more aggressive with time. Aggressive dogs do not necessarily bite or growl, but they may exhibit other signs that demonstrate that the dog has become a dominant, alpha dog.

What are some common signs of aggressive dog behavior to watch out for?

1. A dog who is willful and stubborn. If a dog wants to get his way and doesn’t listen to you, he has become the leader.
   
   
2. A dog who runs ahead of you out the door and walks ahead of you on the leash. Humans should always be leading the way, if they are the leader in the relationship.
   
   

3. A dog that begs, nudges or barks for you to do what they want. This indicates that the dog believes you should do what he wants, instead of the other way around. Again, he has established himself as the leader.
   
   

4. A dog that jumps on your lap without being invited. The dog has taken possession of you; he believes he owns you and can do as he pleases with you. Even though a lot of people don’t believe this is aggression, a submissive dog will not jump on your lap until he is invited.
   
   

So how do you go about stopping aggressive dog behavior?

Besides being expensive, a dog trainer would train the dog, but would not help you to make the changes you need to make. In all the above situations, you can see that the dog has taken on the role of the leader, and you have become the submissive one. These role have to be reversed. The fact is that you need as much training as the dog. You will have to learn how to assume the role as his leader, and teach him that you are in charge.

Take action to correct aggressive dog behavior. Don’t wait until it is too late. Not only will your dog become more aggressive with time, but you can prevent a bad accident from happening. Don’t run the risk of having an aggressive dog injure you or someone else.
