Correction or behavior modification techniques differ depending on the level of severity that your dog aggresses at. Because each dog is different, it is important to judge the best possible ways to modify or correct the aggression. Aggression can be very harmful if not dealt with in the proper way. If you are encountering any forms of aggression please do not try to "go it alone" and get professional help. I use varying methods depending on the dog and the level of severity. Some dogs just need a few leash and collar corrections while others are completely hands-off and require clicker work for shaping new behaviors.
There are several rules to prevent and correct aggressive dogs:
1. Always be the winner
2. Correct ALL signs of aggression
3. Correct & Praise appropriately
4. Teach obedience and teach humanely
5. Let the dog earn his freedom
6. Use the "Down" to your advantage
7. Limit rough-housing and wildness
PLEASE CONSULT A PROFESSIONAL IF YOU ARE HAVING ANY AGGRESSION ISSUES WITH YOUR DOG.
