Training A Dominant Dog

Can you relate to this? You're out for a walk with your dog, you're relaxed and enjoying your walk, when you see another dog coming towards you... 

...your heart starts to race, because you know how your lovely but very dominant dog is going to react, with aggression, pulling and barking like mad, it's embarrassing and frightening at the same time.

You don't know how the other dog will react, or the owner!

Even though both dogs are on a leash, if the other dog gets too close it will set your dog off, you know you're going to be in for another unpleasant encounter.

Your dog starts barking and snarling, pulling you off your feet.

You try to find an escape route, but it's too late, your dog is in full Dominant dog mode.

You've tried everything from tugging on the lead, yelling at the dog, you even tired a different harness collar and lead, distracting them with treats but nothing worked.

It turns a beautiful relaxing walk into a nightmare! and you don't get a chance to chat to people on your walk because your dog is so anti social.

Where did it all go wrong?  You've almost given up hope.

The thing that dog owners and trainers need to understand is that if the dog has been getting the wrong message at home, it's too late when you see another dog coming down the street to turn it around.

Here's the thing... dogs are not as complicated as humans, they don't care about the size of the T.V. or a faster car, or a luxurious holiday, they may be intelligent but they are also simple animals, dogs are all about SURVIVAL Full Stop. This means protecting their property and the pack, especially when they are outside the home.

If you think about this, they are pack animals and they only understand leaders and followers, as leaders they decide what is dangerous and take the initiative to protect the pack.

So your dog thinks it's the pack leader and sees another strange dog approaching, they will show their pack leaders skills by walking right up to the other dog, head up, chest out, tail up, growling and barking in an attempt to get the other dog to back down.

And that's when all hell breaks loose.

But don't blame the dog, what started this was you giving them the message that they were the pack leader in the first place!

That they were in charge in your home...

This is where I found Doggy Dan's training method so helpful.

He really understands how your dog thinks and he's able to help you to show your dog that YOU are the pack leader. And the on line site shows you how simple this is to do.

Dan even offers YOU a 3 Day $1 trial of the site that you can take advantage of. The really nice part is that everything he does is done in such a kind and gentle way. He simply uses 5 Golden Rules.

Wait till you see how Doggy Dan's pack act around other dogs they don't overplay their role because they all know that he is the pack leader and so they can relax..  Now every dog is different, some can be more dominant than others, some will be more submissive.

But as long as YOU are the pack leader, it won't matter what type your dog is, that's the secret. Once this is established, you'll find training will be so much easier.

You'll find you'll only need a gentle word of warning, a slight pull of their lead or a food treat distraction will work really well.

It's not to say that the training techniques you are using at present aren't good, but with no strong foundation, they just won't work for you.

In Summary: Once the other dog shows up, you're dog is not going to take any notice of you because they have bigger things to worry about. Like protecting their pack (which is you)

So, YOU need to become the pack leader to turn  it around. Doggy Dan has given me some great training tricks to pass on to you, if you follow these you'll have a calmer dog when the other dog approaches.

Check them out...

But remember, the foundation of YOU as pack leader HAS to be in place first.

  • Food distractions:  If you dog loves food, this approach can work well, the key though is to use the food as a distraction, not a reward!
  • Don't reward the dog after it has lunged towards the other dog.
  • Use food they wouldn't normally have as often, such as cheese or chicken, don't use their normal biscuits.
  • Take it slowly:  Remember it takes time, so be patient, you can't expect miracles overnight. Unless you've just put the pack leader rules in place!
  • Going slow can build their confidence, if you push forward too fast, that's when things can go wrong.
  •  Master the walk:  You need to make sure that you've mastered the walk before you meet the other dog, you may need to look at a different collar, other than a flat collar, the chest harness is easier to control some dogs with.
  • Stay focused on what you want: Don't get sucked in to following our dog's behaviour, remember you need to continue to show them exactly  how you want them to behave
  • Be ready to step in:  Stay focused on the best results but ready to gently tug or guide your dog away  to correct them.

Remember to relax immediately afterwards, dogs sense your tension.

The thing I love about this method is that it works with your dogs instincts. For instance, we know that it is natural in the dog world for one dog to be above the other in a pack, you can't change that in a dog's behaviour.

But if you position yourself as the top dog in the pack, they will be less  likely to become overly protective, tense, aggressive and dominant and take things too far.

Take a look at look at this great video of two dogs playing at being dominant and submissive.

If you're ready to take control back from your dog and become the gentle and kind pack leader they are looking for then get your 3 day $1 trial and take a look around this amazing site, I think you'll LOOVE Doggy Dan's method of Training.

How To Raise The Perfect Dog

Wondering how to raise the "Perfect" Dog?

Get all the answers here... Doggy Dan's On Line Dog Training.

Watch the movie below for FREE tips!

Turn Your Puppy Into The Perfect Dog.

How do you raise the perfect dog?

We all want the perfect dog, but it's a bit like saying, is there a perfect human?

I guess you know the answer is No...

However, I must say there are some really good people out there and some awesome dogs too.

So... What's the trick you ask?

Here's my best advice... before you start stressing out about puppy school and learning the usual tricks like high fives, commando crawls and roly polies, ask you self this honest question...

Do you want your dream dog to be a performing monkey? that's on show for visitors when they come, so they can comment on how cool that is? How clever your dog is, asking you how you trained him to do that?

We spend so much time on simple commands while we forget the important stuff, so the next time your visitors come you may be warning them of things like, " Don't go near him when he's eating", or "Don't pat him on the head", or "Watch the children don't go near his toys"!

Isn't this insane? We get so busy teaching them commands like "sit" and "stay" and we forget about the really important things, we often don't think about these things until it's too late.

The reason for this is that most dog trainers are stuck doing what everyone else is doing, training commands like, "sit", "down" and "stay". They don't think any further than that, they are just following what everyone else is doing - like sheep. And no one is questioning it.

I want you to think about this, dogs are not euthanized because they didn't sit properly or they were too slow to pick up the "down" or "stay" command.

No, of course not, people don't really care about that stuff, and sadly that's all that's taught at puppy school, but the fact is that more dogs are put down because of Aggression, barking, challenging and growling at visitors, aggressive behaviour to owners, visitors and children.

  It's so sad, when they could have been helped.

Nothing is more frightening and dangerous than a dog that is out of control. A dog that pulls on the leash and who ignores you when they are off leash. This is so dangerous  not just for your dog but for cars, and other dogs or people who get in their way.

Aggressive dog

here are very few trainers out there who can show you how to prevent this, I suspect it's because they don't understand it themselves.

Here's  a list of the Five things people see as the "Perfect Dog"

1. Calm around all dogs and other animals

2. Friendly to all people including children

3. Obedient and Relaxed around the home

4. Excels at coming when called at the park

5. Perfect when walking  in public on the leash

Hhmmm… I can hear you saying…. You’ve got a point there!  So how on earth do we achieve it?

Well I've got good news...  it's not complicated.

Well I should say,  it's not complicated or tricky anymore...

Look at this Incredible Shelter Dog Transformation…

This is the atrocious condition Ellen was found in. She was brought into a local shelter.

She stayed there until a compassionate worker decided to contact TRIO Animal Foundation TAF, knowing they’d be interested in taking on this case.

Thanks to the loving staff members of TAF based out of Chicago she was able to make an amazing transformation. You simply won’t believe the neglect that this sweet dog endure and your jaw will certainly drop when you see what she looks like now.

Well. You see what she looks like now – Spoiler alert, she’s adorable.

Believe it or not this was Ellen when the TRIO Animal Foundation first discovered her in a cage at a public shelter.

The mud, urine, feces and dirt packed into her long hair has created a serious disaster that’s pulling very hard on her skin and very uncomfortable.

It’s unknown how long she’s been walking around like this.  The people that worked at the shelter even had a hard time discerning if this poor pup was male or female!

She was so matted the TRIO staff members who went out to pick her up couldn’t even tell which end was her head and which end was her back end.  Her face and mouth were just barely visible under all that overgrown hair.

It was clear to TAF that this was going to be a huge challenge… poor Ellen was a mess!

She not only looked bad But her matted fur wreaked of urine and even worse the TRIO staff members thought that the dog was dragging her hind legs, but upon closer inspection it turned out that her legs were just knotted up with fur.

It was obvious that the dog underneath all this fur had to be miserable, especially since the dirty clumps of hair weighed so much that they were starting to rip out of her skin by the roots. Fortunately for  TRIO a local grooming service “Mud Hut” agreed to clip the funky smelling canine.

At times Ellen’s malodorous stench was unbearable for the workers grooming her. How incredibly sad to have lived a life smelling of one’s own faeces and urine and repelling people anywhere she went.

As the expert groomers began shaving away large mats an adorable doggy face started to emerge.

What began to surface was a much smaller dog than anyone anticipated? With large kind eyes.

The groomers continued shaving laboriously and cautiously bit by bit. They had to pay careful attention taking care to not burn her skin with the hot blades or slice the skin since the hair was matted so tightly against it.

Excavating a dog from under all that crusted up hardened fur was not an easy task but after a while a canine did begin to emerge from the smelly casing of hair.

How much lighter she must have felt…and even though there must have been times when the dog was uncomfortable or scared during the process of removing all that fur onlookers were surprised that the sweet dog never once growled or showed her teeth.

In fact at one point she even shared kisses with those trying to help her.

By the time the groomer had completed her mission of freeing Ellen from her furry prison the ground was covered in 2 pounds of hair. That’s an amazing amount of fur considering how tiny Ellen really is.

Sadly that hair wasn’t just unsightly and smelly it had also caused a lot of stress on the petite pups joints, so Ellen was treated to therapeutic massages and given medication to help her deal with the pain and possible infection.

Ellen has turned out to be very resilient pup and her three rehabilitation dogs made sure she had a quick mental recovery .

They did so well that she quickly adapted to the new environment and began to get along and socialize with many other dogs. The staff decided that Ellen was ready  to be put up for adoption…

…Ellen received hundreds of applications, but only one lucky person would be able to call this little dog theirs.

It was no surprise that Ellen received so many applications just look at those eyes, just adorable.

After reviewing several applications, they decided on a woman who they knew would give the little dog all the love and care she so desperately deserved,  look how we happy she is,along with a new Mom Ellen also received another special family member, a little boy dog named Linus and Ellen could not love him more.

She’s finally living the happy life she always deserved.

TAF stated in a Facebook post that as soon as Linus walked through the door Ellen’s eyes lit up and he ran right to her, if That’s not destiny. I’m not sure what is. Looking at the next picture of the two of them snuggling will melt your heart.

It was clear from the start that these two were meant to be, Ellen could not have been happier with her loving new Mom and her comforting brother Linus.

Take a look at this heartwarming dog transformation between her precious under bite her sweet eyes and her loving disposition, it’s no wonder that so many applications piled up for a chance to take her home.

We can’t believe the amazing gem of a dog that was hiding for so long under all that matted hair. It really is a miracle.

In Conclusion: If more people trained their dogs properly at the start there would be fewer abandoned dogs on the streets or worse … being put to sleep when no one else wants them.

This is the reason I’m happy to promote Doggy Dan’s On line Dog Training on every one of my doggie posts.

Dog Training Made Easy…

Training a new pup isn't easy if you don't have the right guide lines to follow, it's essential to train them properly if you want peace in your home, not to mention shoes without teeth marks.

Puppies are like babies, they teethe and they like to put things in their mouth and chew them, especially if the items has your scent on it.

Many a good pair of Jimmy Choo shoes have become Jimmy Chewed shoes. Sorry, that's my silly sense of humour! 

Anything within the puppy's reach can be a target to be chewed. Even when you buy them good doggie chew toys!

They just LOVE the smell of your shoes and that's why they prefer them to a chew toy.

If you do have to leave your pup at home while you work, you could always crate them, there are many choices now, even clear plastic crates that they can see through but can't jump out of, they look more attractive than the normal wire crates in your home and you can take out or add on sections depending on the space your pup needs.



I am going to be featuring some great training tools from Experts in the Dog Training Niche, you can choose if you'd like to watch the training on Videos, or read a book and all in the comfort of your own home. 

On line Dog Training is excellent, because you can go over each section at your own pace. So stay tuned for my recommendations in my next blog.

In the meantime, hide your shoes!  🙂
