Then, after he has eaten the treat, put the muzzle on him and feed
him treats through the muzzle. Wait a little bit between each treat
so that your dog will begin to associate the muzzle with treats.
Keep practicing this command in the yard. You want to reach the
stage where you call his name and say come away and he
comes running.
o For dogs that bark at the front door when visitors arrive,
consider keeping him on a long leash and taking him
into another room as soon as guests arrive.
o If your dog barks, dont react or shout. Otherwise, your
dog may interpret your reaction as you joining in and it
may encourage is barking.
2 Teach your dog that he has no need to guard his food. Put
the bowl down but with only part of his dinner in it. As he eats,
scatter more of his dinner as close to the bowl as he allows you to
get. If necessary, keep some food in a treat bag and each time you
walk past the bowl, scatter some food in the bowl so that he
begins to link your presence with plentiful food.[12]
Start with an empty bowl and have your dog sit on command.
As soon as he sits, put a handful of food into the bowl and let
him eat. Then command him to Sit again and put in another
handful. Repeat. This reinforces you are in control and also
that you are the provider of food.
Tips
Dogs read human voices and body language very well.
Remain calm and keep a happy tone as you work with your
dog to respond with less aggression.
Never be use physical punishment on your dog. This will
cause your dog to associate people/other dogs with pain,
which will increase your dogs aggressiveness.
Spaying or neutering your dog is a very effective way of
easing aggressive behavior. If you have not yet spayed or
neutered your dog, do so as soon as possible.
