No dog lover wants to believe their dog would ever bite and, fortunately, most dogs will never find themselves in the position where they feel the need. However, every dog regardless of breed has the ability to bite, because biting is an effective way to keep himself safe. Educating dog lovers about what their dogs need to live successfully in a domestic environment and teaching them what their dogs’ body signals mean is important for bite prevention.
Choose positive training
Dog lovers are understandably stressed and anxious when their dogs show aggressive behavior. They may turn to trainers who guarantee that the aggression will stop when aversive equipment or techniques designed to suppress behavior through pain and fear are used. However this approach has a high rate of failure because suppressed behavior is not changed behavior. Dogs might comply when wearing these aversive collars, but when they’re removed the dogs will often revert back to behaving “normally,” relying on their default behavior of biting to keep themselves safe.
This is where positive training shines, because the techniques positive trainers employ change behavior by modifying the dog’s need to use aggressive behavior. By using management and positive training techniques, dogs can be taught the skills needed to cope with different situations, which helps to increase their confidence.
