Wanna be farmer 0 Posted October 5, 2009 Report Share Posted October 5, 2009 Right, this is realy starting to piss me off now and i need some more advice. When she's on or off the lead, and when she sees other dogs, she barks like mad at them, growls at them and trys to bite them. This has got to stop, so i would be much appreciated for your advice folks. Cheers Quote Link to post Share on other sites
ginga john 268 Posted October 5, 2009 Report Share Posted October 5, 2009 Plenty of opportunity for socialisation and some strong correction when the dog shows any sign of aggression, a good yank on the lead with a firm verbal command should be a good start Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Every dog understand it after 2-3 times. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

hogdog 61 Posted October 5, 2009 Report Share Posted October 5, 2009 A cheaper alternative to electric collars is to use a can of 'pet corrector'. It gives out a loud hissing noise and distracts the dog from whatever they're doing. It's more effective on some dogs than others and the cans don't last long at all but some people swear by them and say that after a few sprays they didn't need it anymore. One bloke I know just has to show his dog the can and it stops whatever it's doing. I've used it on my (particularly headstrong) dog and it does help but he's becoming less bothered by it now...they're all different I suppose. You can get them on ebay or from pets at home but they're expensive from there (about £5-6 a bottle). Good luck. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

These are terriers we're talking about not a lab or collie that will bear a grudge. Some need to be treated harder than others. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

waidmann 105 Posted October 6, 2009 Report Share Posted October 6, 2009 has she hed bad experiances with other dogs or just little contact to others? the use of an electric collar on a dog that is aggressive is not a good idea. she may associate the shock with the other dog and this will obviously make things worse. at 16 months she should still be socializeable( funny word!)is she like that with all dogs? or just bigger/stranger dogs? a command like down( submissive position) may help every time she starts. i would take her to other dogs and bring the situation on as often as poss( de sensitise). is she otherwise aggresive?

JPTfellterrier 65 Posted October 6, 2009 Report Share Posted October 6, 2009 watch the dog whisperer on sky, its on one of the channels on the first page of "entertainment" between 6 and 7 oclock he is amazing with aggresive dogs my personal advice is take no shit dont move on until she has calmly walked past and get some volenteers to help you brake her to dogs my old terrier got worse as she got older with dogs but she new who was boss and used some of the dog whisperers techniques and they worked wonders Quote Link to post Share on other sites
ratattack 111 Posted October 6, 2009 Report Share Posted October 6, 2009 Watch the dog whisperer as has been suggested, he is really good Your dog needs to be socialised and corrected, not beaten or zapped with an electric collar. A whippy piece of hazel is ok to catch it across the arse as it runs off but you need to learn to spot when your dog is gonna start! Sounds like your dog is insecure and you are scared/unsure of how to correct it. The dog knows you are worried everytime you go out and is protecting you by attacking the other dogs. You need to go back to basic training and socialising the dog. YOU MUST BE DOMINANT.... YOU MUST BE PACK LEADER cos right now the dog is above you in the pack because you don't correct the dog properly. JRT's can be very headstrong as they need to be in their "job" YOU need to be stronger than the dog. It will become much better for you and the dog. They get a bad rep as so many people have them and can't understand the need to be firm but fair with them. My girlfriend's sister has a real shit of a JRT that dislikes my JRT but it is not socialised and she won't discipline the dog, so one of these days my JRT is gonna batter it to teach it to behave i'm sure My JRT used to be very aggressive towards other dogs, never bit another but would charge up barking at other dogs like yours, i went back to basics and he is as biddable as a JRT can be. He still goes mad on the lead and thats work in progress but off lead he just wants to play. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Cold Ethyl 63 Posted October 7, 2009 Report Share Posted October 7, 2009 (edited) Instead of beating the dog senseless or an e collar have you tried kicking her out of your pack?Chase her away let her know your not very happy and see if that works either that or a muzzle mate.My bitch was very similar when i got her used to chase people out the park It was her place and she wouldnt have anything else in it now she doesnt bother her bum and the only thing shes funny about is her ball it must come back to me and if the other dogs gets in the road she will growl and snarl a bit.Another thing you could try is if shes play orientated if she does it back on the lead end of game go home and she might associate the 2 my gsd hated being taken home if shed done something daft Edited October 7, 2009 by Cold Ethyl Quote Link to post Share on other sites
