Heavy Duty Dog Gates For Your Puppy

The more I read the greater I know that dogs are more like their human parents than you imagine. Agitation, aggressiveness and dogs becoming overly excited can become a serious problem requiring extensive training and sometime even medication.
If you see
any of these signs in your dog then you most probably have an aggressive or easily agitated dog.

Shows fear when around other dogs.
Shows panic or fear when startled by sounds. Thunderstorms
are a good example.
Becomes aggressive when around
other dogs.
Loves to chase vehicles, bicycles or anything with or without wheels that is moving.
Consistent barking.
Separation anxiety in dogs.
Shows aggressiveness around visitors.
The
desirable destruction of furniture or other items from the home.
Often ignores commands from pet parent due to excitability.

What are
many of the causes of this behavior? Prior to a correct treatment or training can bHeavy Duty Dog Gates e determined you need to know the causes or source of the aggressiveness or agitation.

Some breeds
are usually aggressive than others. Human behavior can develop the condition.
Not enough quality time with the human parent.

Pet parents
these types of dogs has to know proper training methods of order becoming a successful "Alpha" to get calming results desired.

Dogs like to see pet parents on a regular schedule
similar to children I suspect.
Your dog
can pick up on your mood so be calm on your interactions if you expect calmness from your dog.

Some believe that should a strong dog is removed from its mother prior to 7 weeks that puppy will not learn certain social skills taught by the mother such as not biting and much more.
Many rescue dogs act out
what they've learned from other previous negative experiences.
Stresses in the pet parents life or significant life changes
can cause agitation such as divorce, birth of a child or separation all of which may mean a shorter period spent with the your dog.
Not enough exercise especially if there is a large dog in a small home. You dog will need 1 to 2 hours walking per day.

Sudden reduction or elimination of daily walks and runs will be interpreted by your dog as a serious decrease in the size of their territory. This can lead to confusion and then to aggressiveness.
How do you solve these problems and get your dog back on the road to calmness and responding to commands? You should start now with the following actions.

Increase the
exercise with your dog.
Get a good dog crate. There are so many
uses for the dog crate. One use is short time outs. Once you dog is calm again give him a treat and let him out. No toys or food inside the crate please. A time out is a time out. A heavy duty dog crate is suitable for medium and large agitated or excitable dogs.
I recommend a Heavy Duty Dog Crate since many aggressive and agitated dogs have "chewing" issues. Do not keep replacing crates
if you have a chewer. It is costly buying better and better dog crates only to see them chewed through or the door pushed open. In addition, the veterinarian bills from tooth damage can get expensive.

Find
a superb dog trainer or dog training course and start now. Get educated then start educating your dog. Time, attention and proper training techniques will make a big difference.
Doggie and parent playtime
is important but never in an aggressive or combative fashion.
Congratulate your dog when he or she is acting calm or good
particularly when you can view the positive change in their actions.
Do not be afraid to be the alpha dog, the leader. Be stern but loving.

This can happen in all sizes and breeds.
The thing is much more serious in the strong dog and large dog breeds for obvious reasons. Your small dog is easier to control once he is overly excited.

There are so many great dog trainers
available online and most have books and recorded video media and other ways of eduHeavy Duty Dog Gates cating yourself so you can make a difference in your aggressive dogs' life.

It is a simple fact, and I think you will agree, that a calm and happy dog will improve
quality lifestyle for him and the whole family. Everybody can relax more often without worrying about your dog or your guests. It is worth the time and effort.

Here is a quote
I found which will make you stop and think of what your special friend way to you and your responsibility to him or her.
