One way a dog will display dominance is by putting their head above the other dog’s head and maybe also putting their forelegs on the other animal’s back or shoulders. Dogs will frequently raise their hackles while showing their teeth and growling. It is good to avoid this stage of aggression before it occurs. If the second dog does not begin to act submissively at this point, there will very likely be a dog fight. Anyone familiar with dogs has seen these dog behaviors many times before. If you notice these aggressive attitudes, avoid encountering the situation that is making our dog aggressive.

Use the advice below, and I bet your dog will learn to start enjoying his new dog friends like mine did and lose his aggressive attitude.

• You can take your aggressive dog on a trip to visit a friend of yours, whose dog happens to be friendly and non-aggressive. Because dogs are more aggressive to other dogs of the same gender, try making sure his new friend is of the opposite sex. It is also a good idea either at your friend’s place or in a neutral territory like a park, so your dog doesn’t feel like he is protecting his turf.

• To be sure your dog doesn’t lunge or act aggressive, be sure to have the dogs on their leashes at the start.  Remain far enough apart that the dogs can’t reach each other, and have the dogs assume the sit position. If your dog is acting aggressive, remind him who’s the boss, and make sure he stays in the sit position. Show your dog you are happy when he stops acting aggressive by giving him a rewarding tasty treat and lots of praise. It is necessary to act in a consistent fashion to obtain fast and effective results. Stay positive with your training and remember not to yell when frustrated as that will not make the training go faster or easier.

• Once the dogs show that they are calm around each other bring them close enough to take a preliminary sniff at each other. When relaxed dogs greet each other neither one is displaying teeth, growling or raising hackles. If your dog remains relaxed now, you have started the process of removing his aggressive attitude toward other dogs.

• For future meetings, try using different locations to check the aggressive dog’s attitude. The repeated meetings with another friendly dog will serve to desensitize your dog’s aggressive attitude towards other dogs.

• Try to have a final test visit in your dog’s own yard, once he is comfortable with his new friends company. Start the final test with the dogs on the leash, just in case the aggressive dog cops an attitude on his home turf. If your dog remains relaxed, let them play together in the yard. Now that your dog is able to stop being aggressive with other dogs, you will feel a big relief.

This was the beginning of being able to introduce your dog to other new friends and stopping those bad aggression problems.
