Sniffing aggression

by Lorie
(NJ)

My dog hates when other dogs sniff her. She is fixed. She growls, turns around and snaps. How do I get her to stop doing that. That's how dogs make friends. It's so frustrating. She's only 9 months old. How do I socialize a dog when I can't even bring her around other dogs? She's great with my other dog. Very submissive and couldn't care less if he sniffs her.

Hi, Lorie:

You'll need to start by asking yourself two questions:

1. Does the dog understand that the dog aggression is unwanted behavior?

and

2. If she understands that she shouldn't be aggressive, then she's choosing to ignore me. In which case, you have a respect issue.

Get a prong collar and a six foot leather leash and learn how to correct your dog in a safe and humane manner. I can guarantee that you'll see an almost immediate, dramatic improvement. Check out DogProblems.com to learn more.

Employ the "Nothing In Life Is Free" approach, so that your dog starts to view you as the "pack leader." If your dog doesn't see you as the leader, then your corrections will be meaningless. So, if you're doing subtle things (inadvertently) to undermine your leadership role around the house-- it will be counter-productive.
