Our dog is aggressive to other dogs and people. We enrolled her in obedience classes but it doesn’t help!

Full Question:
Hello,

My name is Jennifer and I own an Aussie Mix that we adopted last June.

She is very aggressive toward other dogs and people (i.e. nipping at peoples heels, showing teeth).

We have enrolled her in obedience already but that dosent seem to help.

Please help!

Cindy Cindy's Answer:
Obedience classes are wonderful for teaching dogs behaviors like sit, down and walk on a leash but they don’t address the issues many people have living with their dogs in and around their home.

The key to managing this is changing the way you handle and live with your dog. Start with our groundwork program.

I’d also recommend Pack Structure for the Family Pet and Dealing with Dominant & Aggressive Dogs.

We also have a number of eBooks, which include topics that may help you.

This is an extremely common issue, and we have a lot of information on the website as well. For future questions, you might benefit from learning to use our SEARCH function, which is located in the top left corner of every page of the website. If you type in your key words or question it will find you articles, Q & A’s, free streaming video and links to threads on our discussion forum. Our website has over 16,000 pages and it’s very likely you’ll find the information you are looking for. I hope this helps.
