How To Teach Your Adult Dog Not To Bite
from:Once a grown dog is biting, many honest efforts at rehabilitation will end in failure. In addition, many efforts to save a biter will only get you bitten. You may hire a good dog trainer to help you straighten out your dog, or, if you know it's too late for all that, put the dog to sleep.
Below is an outline of ways to reform an adult biting dog:
1. Tighten all obedience work so that the dog does what he is told, where he is told, when he is told and for as long as he is told, no excuses! All this must hold true in the face of distractions such as strangers, children playing, normal household routine, other animals moving around, visitors, and noise other than his own.
2. Give him more exercise. Besides obedience work, make a strong effort to use up as much as possible of the dog's energy in constructive exercise. This may include jogging, swimming, and playing his favorite game.
3. Reward the dog with attention only when he has just behaved well. Giving him too much affection gives the message that he is a top dog. If your dog is biting, he knows he's a top dog. You must refrain from giving him too much attention. In fact, when he solicits attention, simply ignore him. Do not allow him to bully you into petting or play sessions.
4. Correct all signs of aggression. Discontinue making any excuses for growling, nipping, bullying, biting, territorial marking in inappropriate places, object guarding, or bratty behavior.
5. Keep correctional aids handy so that you will be able to correct your dog without getting bitten. These include lemon juice to squirt in his face, collar and leash, crate, hose or pot of water to dump on his head if necessary. If one of your problems of aggression is dog fighting, have a leash for prevention and a hose ready to hose down the dogs and stop a fight in progress. If there are loose aggressive dogs where you walk your dog, carry the lemon juice along on his walks.
6. Be clear in your corrections. Shake him by the collar, using the leash as added protection if the dog is really aggressive. Then confine the dog for one hour. If the dog tries to bite you, use a squirt of lemon juice in his mouth to make him back off. If you are afraid of the dog, hire a professional help to correct the dog and to help you build back your confidence with him.
7. Set a time limit. If you are working on your own, set a limit of, say, about three weeks. If, at the end of that time, there is no visible improvement, either hire a trainer or put the dog to sleep. It is neither wise nor safe to go on and on with a biter if he is not improving.
Some trainers make promises about stopping aggression. But in this tough area, even written guarantees do not make for cured dogs. Once an adult dog has bitten several times, he must be guarded. Though hard work may bring him around, he will never be as reliable as the dog who has never bitten anyone. There must always be some caution in dealing with a biter, even a reformed one.
