Dog Leash Large

Dog Leash Large
My dog is is leash aggressive ONLY with some larger dogs. Help?

I have read that I should correct him and say "NO!," read that I should ignore the behavior, and read that I should try to distract him with treats. Lots of conflicting advice! He ignores treats when he gets worked up like this.

We live in the city so we are always walking past other dogs. My dog is fine until we are withing 3-4 feet of the dog and then he lunges and gets growly. My dog is fine with smaller dogs on leash and dogs that he already knows. He also gets along well with dogs in secure off leash environments. He is a very dominant dog and he feels the need to challenge larger dogs.

How should I work with him? I'm not sure if I should correct him for this aggression or ignore it? Neither seems to help and I am at my wits end...

Once your dog starts ignoring you and/or food you've lost control, you've pushed him past his threshold. At this point he is in a state of mind where learning cannot take place.

You need work with him below threshold. Since he reacts to dogs at 4 feet, you need start at 6 feet away. Shovel some treats in mouth for a few seconds, turn and walk the other way. If he won't take them at 6 feet, then you're still to close. If he takes them like a starved shark, you're to close.

Over time you can slowly move closer as your dog starts to associate those other dogs with good things. Essentially you are changing his perception of other dogs from bad, scary things that need to go away, to great things that mean awesome stuff happens.

I would recommend getting the book Scaredy Dog by Ali Brown.

Just having a pet in the house will not be sufficient. All the necessary accessories have to be provided for the pets to make them have a comfortable living. There are various accessories available for the pets. In the case of dogs, the booties will be very useful for those dogs which live a climate of very hot. It helps in preventing the feet of the dog from the coarse land, areas that are rocky and hot path. The usefulness of this cannot be understood by those who live in the cold climate. One cannot walk with the bare foot including the dogs in those places which has got the environment of desert.

Apart from the above, some other accessories have also to be purchased by the owners of the dog and in some countries the law is framed for the owners to have some accessories as a mandatory one. The owners of the pets have to decide in buying the other accessories that may be very useful for their pets before spending. But it is compulsory for them to spend money on the accessories

But, some of the accessories are very essential for the dogs. To feed the dog with food and water, it is a must to have a bowl. Mostly all the dogs have the practice of moving the bowl throughout the room while having their food and water. This will sometimes make the owner to search for the bowl at the time of feeding the dog. The noise will also irritate the owner of the dog. The best solution for this is to feed the dog with the bowl that is made of ceramic. The dogs will find it very difficult to move it. A plastic bowl with the rubber base can also alternatively be used. The rubber below the bowl will protect the bowl from moving.

The next important item that is required for a dog is the collar and the leash. Many models are available under this category and the owners have to decide based on the quality, rate and the size. The dog should be tied the collar with the identity card mentioning the details about the dog that will be very helpful when the dog is missed.

It will be of much use to have a pooper scooper for the dogs when the owners live in big areas. Many countries do not allow the owners to take the dogs to make the footpath into foul. In some of the cities, the owners of the dog will be fined heavily in the case of the crappy action.

When it comes to dog furniture, large sized breeds of dogs require some special care. The websites exclusively dealing with dog furniture like http://dogfurniture.info have some lovely collection of furniture varieties that every dog owner would love to posses.

Apart from the essential items there are also some optional accessories that are available for the owners to have for their dogs. They are bandana, water dishes and the food bowls. Some of these optional accessories will not be of much useful but will be very decorative for the dogs.

Owners not keeping there dogs on leashes?

My husband and I walk our dogs everyday in our gated community some houses have yards others don't. I noticed lately that people aren't keeping there dogs on leashes. Can you just call animal control and tell them this person at this address isn't keeping there dogs leashed?

It get frustrating when it happens so often. I know every once in awhile things happen, but when you see your dogs approaching two people walking with large dogs you would imagine they'd get off there ass and get there dogs but NOOO they just call there names.

If you're in a gated community I would contact the HOA first. I can't imagine they allow off leash dogs in the neighborhood. If that doesn't get you any results then call AC and give them the addresses.

Good luck- I've had several issues in my neighborhood too but the HOA got it taken care of.

While to many a may seem that all the dog she retrained alike there are in fact different things you need to consider depending on the size of the dog. There are many basic training techniques that apply to both large and small sized dogs however different sized dogs have different challenges and special considerations.

Whether you have a small or a large dog, you should always treat your dog with kindness and use positive reinforcement. Never hit your dog as this will do little to enforce training. While some dogs are harder to train than others, all dogs can be trained with patience and persistence.

Small Dogs

Small dogs can be transported easily which will give you more choices for training locations both inside the home and out of it. One consideration was small dogs is that they tend to bark a lot so extra effort may be needed towards bark suppression. Often times small dogs are very fearful and you want to take that into consideration your training. On the other hand there are many small dogs that are too bold which you should also take into consideration.

You should always start training or small dogs when they are young and hold regular training sessions as persistence is the key. You will need to establish early on that he was a leader of the pack, or alpha dog. Be firm when youÂ’re small dog challenges you and donÂ’t give in to his cuteness or be afraid to be firmer than due to his size.

You should give careful thought when leash training your small dog because their throats are easily bruised. Be careful to correct with the sideways tug as opposed to a backwards tug. when the dog is pulling forward, you should jerk the leash sideways in order to correct him -- just a tug for correction not a jerk for punishment. While it may seem like a neck muscles a very strong remember their throats are delicate.

When you teach your small dog to sit, remember he is small and do not apply excessive pressure on his hind quarters. The size difference between a large human in the small dog make it easy for you to be a bit too forceful even if you donÂ’t mean to.

Large Dogs

Large dogs have their own challenges when training. When you training a large dog the wheat strength ratio is in the dogs favor. And, therefore, you must make special considerations.

If you are training a large dog you should always be alert. While a small dog can be annoying when he turns on the leash a large dog can throw you off balance which can be dangerous. If you are training a Rottweiler or German Shepherd and he wants to let loose and run after a cat you need to be prepared to hold them back.

Large dogs will need a thick leash - at least an inch of leather or good nylon. A wide collar of good quality with solid fasteners that wonÂ’t break open while you are in the middle of training as a must. when youÂ’re walking with a large dog be sure to hold the loop of the end of the leash in your right hand while inserting your thumb through the loop. Then, in your left hand, hold a few inches of the leash draped over your left her in insert your left palm through the little loop which is formed while draping. Claims the leash across your left hand palm.

Even with a large dog, you want to perform leash corrections by jerking sideways as opposed to back. While they are obviously much stronger than small dogs their throats can be bruised by excessive force. Just give them a short tog and release this will let them know that theyÂ’ve done something wrong.

Large dogs, in particular, need to be trained not to jump especially around children. Many dogs get excited when they see children and they want to jump up on them and play. Your job as a trainer is to be prepared with leash corrections whenever this happens. In the beginning you will correct with the leash but eventually the dog will learn to not jump with a voice command.

Whether youÂ’re a dog is large or small, daily training is necessary especially in the beginning to reinforce the commands that you want your dog to learn. In order for your dog to be the best pet he can be, itÂ’s important for him to learn what is acceptable behavior and what is not. Dogs like to have rules and they love to please their owners so training is probably something your dog looks forward to. While training can be tedious and time-consuming you will be rewarded with a loyal and loving pet that is a joy to be around.

how many collars do I need for my large breed?

I have a large breed mix who is very scared of certain people and noises. Sometimes he freaks out when we are walking and he comes off leash. He has a way of twisting his head and I'm left with the leash and his collar(with all this tags) in my hand, while he is running free. I am scared that without his info nobody can return him back to me. What kind of collar should I use? Do I need two different collars?

A gentle leader or a martingale (no slip/sighthound collar) would be best for you. The dog also needs some sort of training so that you can control him better.

http://www.northwindcatalog.com/martingale_collars.htm

You can keep a regular collar with his tags on him at all times and then use the leader or the martingale for walks only.

Added: I would NOT do a chain choke collar or a prong collar unless you take a training class to teach you how to use it.
