Yesterday, I had a lady write me who has a serious problem. ohio service dog trainers Pictures of small dogs. She owns 30 dogs (she takes in strays) and keeps the majority of them as house dogs. She realizes that she has an obsessive compulsive problem and needs to do something about it. This women has created a "dog pack" and has seen some awesome dog fights. ohio service dog trainers Choosing a dog. She has gone so far as to grind the eye teeth flat on the dogs so when they attack one another they don't do as much damage. Pretty gruesome for someone who claims to love dogs. She confirmed some of the facts that I learned years ago:Dogs are territorial (like wolves)They have a pack order (ranks order) which included a pack leader and everydog in the pack knows it's rankThe worst dog fights are amount bitches (they are fierce)When fights begin dogs will gang up on the weaker or newer dogSome dogs (lower rank dogs) will turn and run at the mere sound of a fightOnce attacked a dog will always be leery of meeting new dogs. ohio service dog trainers Dog trainers south carolina. Some willautomatically be fighters the rest of their lives. So the goal of introducing a new dog into a family which already has other dogs comes down to "bringing another member into the family pack" without allowing dog fights. If done properly this can usually (not always) be done. The wrong way to do it is to bring a new dog into the home and allow the dogs to works it out themselves. That's like asking for Monday night wrestling in your front room. The right way to do this is with the aide of a dog crate. I will put the new dog in a dog crate in the house where the other dogs can go up and look at and smell it. If there is growling I will correct the older house dogs for showing any sign of aggression. If need be, I will put prong collars on them and let them drag a leash. If they growl I will give take the leash and give a hard correction. Remember, you are the pack leader in this family. Your house dogs already know and understand this (assuming that you are a responsible dog owner). The pack leaders is the one who determines if and when a dog will fight. So if your position in the pack is firm (as a result of solid obedience training) a correction for growling will tell the house dog that "YOU WILL NOT ALLOW AGGRESSION TOWARDS THIS NEW DOG. "There is no reason to rush an introduction of a dog into your home.
