Does your dog show aggression to all dogs irrespective of size, breed, or sex?  Were you aware that this aggression is brought on by fear?  This can be caused by some dire experience when your dog was young, or sometimes it may be inherited.  Regardless of what brought on your dog’s aggressive behavior, it’s really important for you know the corrective measures you have got to take so that you will know how to stop dog aggression towards other dogs.

Dog aggression is his technique of communicating his character, and you can get a handle on his aggression, however it is doing need training.  If you decide training your dog yourself is the way to go, then you have to have patience with your dog.  This will take time and patience on your part, and remember that dogs aren’t instant like we are.  They move at their own pace. 

Here are two tips for you to keep in mind while you are learning to stop dog aggression toward other dogs:

Don’t take your dog to places where there will be a large amount of other dogs that your dog doesn’t know

If your dog gets attacked by another dog, removed him from the situation instantly

Do not use physical force as punishment – this will frighten them more

Taking a detached attitude with your dog – let them know you are supervisor

Training your dog can be a rewarding experience for you and your dog.  Not only will it put you in control, but makes you and your dog more confident with one another.  If you look at it this way, your dog is heeling, lying down, or staying, he won’t be preparing himself for aggression. 

When you learn how to distract your dog’s aggressiveness, you cool down the situation, and then you can simply move away from a situation that might otherwise be injury for you and your dog.  It is always a must that you give your dog a reward when he has calmed down.  A typical reward would be some sort of food that’s a treat for your dog.  After time, he will start picking up that if he does this or that, he gets a treat, and that could be his motivation, consistency in this department will determine your success.
