Have you ever noticed how hindsight makes such a clear vision of the things that you wish that you had made previously? Dogs behave too-territorial are one of the most common moments that we see at work in hindsight. This problem, then that easily prevented before, can be difficult to mitigate once underway.
One of the things that makes if difficult is that very often, pet owners who love their pet difficult to imagine that their sweet puppies could never have to be aggressive in any way. If they see developing small signs of such behaviour, they do not worry because they are only it if will be never become a real problem.
Other times, people think they want their aggressive dog and protect the House, but later realize that bite the friends of their children or other visitors invited does was not what they had in mind.
For years, I told people not to encourage or accept any aggressive behavior of their pet all the. Most of the time, listen to people and all ends well. Other times, people stick to their guns, saying things like “the reason we received this type of dog is because we want him to protect the House.”
Remember, most dogs have a natural instinct to protect their house. Believe me when I tell you that your dog can be friendly, well socialized and sweet to all visitors. An incident should occur (as a masked man break in your window), dogs instinctively recognize what that “not right” and they will bark, growl and you protect to… timely.
This is not appropriate or useful, is to have a dog who is timid, fearful or aggressive towards visitors, repair men or children playing football in your court. In these situations, your dog behavior is not helpful to everything… you will have to lock him away so the repair man be willing to come inside and do the work, other visitors will feel uncomfortable and certainly, it is a huge problem if your dog becomes aggressive when your children and their friends start fight.
The best way to avoid this problem is to examine the behavior of your dog in advance the problem. As soon as you see a sign of aggression, such as your dog growling, barking, mounting, getting stiff or otherwise acting as these normal occurrences are a problem, you must indicate your dog “not!”. The worst thing to do in this situation is the animal of your dog to try to appease him. Instead of feeling mollified, your pet will feel as if you say “Barking good.”
Timid, capricious or fearful dogs are also at risk of developing a too-territorial behaviour. Strengthen the confidence of your dog in obedience training and small exercises of agility at home, working on extensive socialization and teaching your dog not step to be afraid of things of every day.
An ounce of prevention is better than cure, and this situation is certainly this expression. If you are not sure how to prevent this problem or if your dog is already behaving aggressively (or from) to the visitors, you will need to work with a competent and experienced trainer to alleviate the problem.
