Start Dog Training

In dog training terms I really like to call this “Stranger Aggression”. If your dog gets scared by strangers; jumpy and always on alert, pacing and scared by the smallest movements or if he is extraordinarily still with laser like concentrate on his target (the mailman, a visitor approaching). Then your dog is showing danger signals that he could get aggressive toward strangers.

Reasons why

The one reason dogs show “stranger aggression” is that they have not been correctly socialized around strangers. They have not spent sufficient time around strangers to get used to them. Your dog looks to you for all of his worldly experiences. It is your decision to expose him to new folk, places and things in a positive manner with positive experiences so that he will realize for himself that not all new places and faces are a thing to be scared of.

What do you do now?

Socialization: A method of getting your dog accustom to the world around him and all of the strange people, animals and things in it. I cannot emphasize enough the importance of socialization is to your dogs upbringing. Socialization should start as soon as your little puppy has his vaccination shots and continue throw out his life.

What about an older dog.

It is never too late to socialize your dog. Although it may take a bit longer and you need to take certain precautions so you, your dog or the stranger can avoid a bad experience or worse an injury.

Take it slowly and never force a highly anxious dog into an unusual situation. Try and keep any training in short lessons or exposures of not more than 15 minutes. Expose your dog to new people and places constantly. You should expect your dog to get over his fears if you only work on his socialization once every week. Try 2 – 3 times per week and go from there with longer sessions.
