Dog training tip

This is the first thing I do with a hipper/aggressive dog.

Explaining: Most of you know this, but I start with the basics.

OK, facing the dog, hold collar in hand closest to the dog, put your other hand in between the front and back legs, and grasp the front leg farthest away from you pull towards you until the dog falls over.

If the dog is hipper do all this and keep on holding the collar even after the dog is down, pet the dog still holding him firmly (not pushing down on him!).

If the dog is aggressive, hold him down firmly (not pushing him, this creates anger), do not pet..

Do this until the down is completely calmed, when you let him up don't make it quick, gently help him up, this makes you still involved, so doggy won't just jump up and go do his own thing.

DO NOT DO THIS ON A SCARED DOG!

On a scared dog, walk around confidently and make unexpected turns.

Make sure the aggression is not from fear.

You can copy this and print it, I don't mind.

Toodles and hope this helps.
