    Rose Marie James

    Our family lives in the Midwest, fairly close to Lake Michigan. It was really cold outside, but I needed to take my cute puppy Buster for his daily walk so we bundled up really well – hats, triple socks, coats, boots, gloves and two scarfs. As we were walking out the door my husband turned to me and said, ”you are all bundled up like an old lady,” and the phrase An Old Lady’s Guide was born. My name is Rose Marie James and I am a writer, animal lover and nature lover. As a family member, Buster’s happiness has taken over lives from the food he eats, his wellness care, puppy training, supplements he takes, the accessories that he wear and so much more. He’s our baby. Our love for Buster has led me to produce a series of dog books that aims to help the dog owner by providing solutions that will result in a well behaved happy and healthy dog. Thanks for taking this journey with us.

      Some interesting points, much the same as many other training books.
      Unfortunately this book has no depth at approx 50 pages.
      I was looking for real life methods for dealing with aggression in my dog, but instead just got a broad overview - no methods. Not helpful

    Dog Aggression Training - Rose Marie James

    Introduction

    Every dog has its own personality, just like humans. They can be your best friend and they can always be happy to see you when you get home. However, it can be difficult when you are dealing with the issue of your dog being aggressive.

    First of all, this doesn’t mean you have failed in any way as a dog owner. It doesn’t mean you don’t care about your dog or you haven’t made them a priority. In fact, dog aggression is at the top of the list for most dog owners.

    What Causes Dog Aggression?

    Understanding the underlying causes of dog aggression is a good place to start. It can provide you with the right frame of mind to make positive changes for you and your dog. What you have been doing to this point hasn’t solved the problem. You want to use approaches that get results!

    Don’t take it personally if your dog is aggressive. Many owners do and it can create resentment for their pet. However, it is the natural instinct of dogs to show dominance and that is where most of the aggression stems from. Frustration is also a natural part of how a dog functions and it too causes aggressive behaviors.

    However, you can help your dog to be less frustrated by offering a calm environment and plenty of daily exercise. You can also help your dog to overcome dominance issues by offering a calm but assertive leadership role.

    Some breeds of dogs get a bad reputation for being aggressive. However, it isn’t the breed that is to blame when a dog isn’t behaving. Sure, some breeds seem to have more of a dominant element to them and there are those which are very protective and they make terrific watch dogs.

    All Dog Breeds can be Aggressive

    However, any breed of dog can be aggressive, even the small Chihuahua. However, it is the damage that can be done by a larger breed of dog when they are aggressive that puts them at the center of the topic. Being chased or bitten by a Chihuahua versus a Pit Bull is a significant difference.

    A strong breed of dog is going to be powerful, and you need to accept this. These dogs live with humans but they aren’t always understood. You can’t be intimidated by the breed of dog you have. You can’t try to hide them from everyone so they don’t have a chance of creating a problem.

    One of the chapters in this e-book discusses why you need to be the leader of the pack. Your dog has to know you are dominant over them. They need to know the rules and the boundaries.

    Change your Own Behavior

    The key to successfully eliminating aggressive behavior with your dog is to change your own behavior. This is how you will be able to get your dog to function in a manner that you are accepting of. It will be a way for you to trust them around others and for you to enjoy their company more than ever before!

    Stop blaming
