Aggressive Dogs
Before we go on and talk about correcting aggressive dogs, I want to get this out of the way. Your dog is a dog first and foremost. I know that might sound rudimentary and so obvious, but aren’t we all guilty of attributing human feelings to our dogs? When our dog begs at the dinner table, don’t we feel sorry for him because he can’t have that delicious food we are eating? And if our dog got attacked by another dog, don’t we sometimes find ourselves excusing some of the aggressive behavior as the dog remembering a past experience and being hurt and defensive because of it?
It is important for our dog that we treat her like the wonderful dog she is, but a dog first and foremost.
As a dog, your dog will react to situations and after a while or after a traumatic experience, your dog will be conditioned to respond in a certain way in that same situation. Think of the dogs in Pavlov’s experiment. They hear a bell and start drooling even if there is no food present. Because they had been drooling whenever they heard the bell, they soon became conditioned to the sound of the bell being tied in to their drooling and so whenever they heard that bell again, they would drool.
Now it is possible to correct a conditioned response, but that takes time. But it can be done!
The same goes for correcting aggressive dogs. In the dog’s mind, whatever situation that initially caused them to react aggressively has been conditioned into them because time and again, they have found that aggression works to stop the situation that they don’t like regardless of whether or not the situation is really lethally dangerous to them. They don’t know that a harmless brush isn’t going to kill them if every time that the brush got near them and they growled or whatever and the brush went away. To them, they succeeded in conquering the enemy and protecting themselves.
It is there that we can start correcting aggressive dogs. We need to nip their bite before it escalates into a doggy horror! We need to tell them that their aggressive behavior is unwarranted and completely unacceptable to us.
