Any advice is greatly appreciated. clicker training dog Maltese-dog. J. TorresANSWER:The description you have given me is a classic FEAR BITER. The reason for this behavior is that the dog has weak nerves. clicker training dog Search & rescue dog trainers. Normal things seem to cause it to be concerned. It has learned that showing aggression will cause the people that make it nervous to leave it alone. Many times people will adopt dogs like this and think, "This poor dog was abused by the previous owner. clicker training dog Aggressive dog behavior. " Most of the time this is not true at all. The reason the dog ended up in the pound was because it displayed the kind of temperament you are describing. The dog was born with the problem. Bad genetics produce bad nerves. The fact is that a dog like this should be put down. In my opinion this is a dangerous dog. It's usually only a matter of time before it bites a child or a friend. This is not an easy thing to do, but the fact is there is little that you can do to change the behavior. If you do not want to do this, your only option is to obedience train the dog. By this I do not mean normal obedience where it really isn't important if the dog only minds some of the time. This dog needs a lot of training so that it minds in every circumstance and under every distraction. You can learn how to do this from my tape titled Basic Dog Obedience. The 2 commands to stress with the dog are the "recall" and the "down. " You want to be able to recall your dog under every circumstance. You will also want to be able to drop the dog into a down no matter what is going on. This is going to require some compulsion on your part in later training. When it finds itself in a situation that it fears it's going to want to revert back to its old ways. You are going to have to teach it that it has more to fear from you than from the demons in it's mind. I guess the way I look at it is that this dog still needs to go through a learning phase, a correction phase and a distraction phase of training, just like every dog we work with. But you need to add another level - I will call it "a do it or die phase. " My point here is that you don't go out and beat up the dog from day one of training.
