A lot of reasons are there for a dog to become aggressive towards other dogs. Some dogs can be fearful or nervous around other dogs, in some cases a dog is trying to prove that he is the dominant dog or just because the dog is being territorial.

There are also some cases that a dog can be taught by the owner to be aggressive rather than be socially interactive with other dogs. Other dogs are simply being protective of their masters who make them aggressive in a way and this goes for being sexually aggressive as well.

Tips

Another way of stopping dog aggression is by ensuring that a dog is introduced to other animals as a puppy. Always allow your puppies to play with dogs that are mature and have the best behavior.

When this happens, they will learn the proper behavior that the older dogs have. They will also see that other dogs are okay and it is not a need to protect their owner from other animals nor is it a need to fight for their territory.

Another way to stop dog aggression when a dog starts to become aggressive is to address the issue immediately each time it happens. The dog should never be allowed to get away from this type of dangerous behavior. A head collar or muzzle can be effective while the dog is in training to stop dog aggression, but is not the solution to the problem in the long run.

A way to stop dog aggression is through strict training so that the dog is tuned into the instructions of the owner rather than focusing on the other animal. The dog should be trained to focus on the owner so that his attention is there and the owner can give another command to the dog, such as ‘down’ or ’sit’ while there is another dog around.

The owner should also have control over his behavior and feelings no matter how small it is so that the dog will not take his owners behavior as a cue to become aggressive. This will help stop dog aggression because the dog will only take its cue from its owner.

Once the dog knows how to focus, he can be distracted by commanding your dog to find a treat when there is another dog around. This will help stop dog aggression because the dog being asked to find the treat will not even mind the other dog around him and this means that dog aggression is stopped even before it starts.
