Small Dog Aggression
We would like to get another puppy, but we're worried that he will bite it. We would like advice on how to handle this aggression. Thanks! |

I have a similliar aggression problem with my 3 yr. old OES, Daffy. She is a wonderful dog that adores people almost to a fault, but is not always as endearing towards other dogs. Despite early extensive socialization, Daffy is aggresive towards other dogs only when she is taken out in public places, ie.) Pet Smart. However, she gets along great with Dogs she meets on her own turf. I have found that love, patience, and solidifying basic obiedience commands have bee hepful in working to resolve the problem. However, it seems to be an ongoing proccess that must be constantly reinforced through praise and rewards. Also, being aware of your response to your dog's behavior is important. If you are tense about your dog's response to another dog, your dog will pick up on it. Thus, your dog will become increasinly tense and more likely to lash out at another dog as a result. In addition, using a head halter is very helpful. 
Hope these tips help your OES. ~Ashley & Daffy in Maryland |
