Sexuality and sensuality are closely linked because all energy can flow , it is also an important element in social interaction

If we take it that  male dog engage in certain ritual behaviours of which sensual behavior is a huge part of , smelling,  touching , nudging all that behavior has it foundation in it’s sexually, take a huge element out of that equation and you completely change the dynamic of the dog 

 

Could play a part but more likely other dog's tekking the piss

He is a bloody brilliant family dog, it's be a shame to think about putting down. I think the giving him a good crack might just work. I have him on a half choker and he just strangles himself. He's always been a very anxious dog. It's a feckin shame, I had hoped of going on walks through valleys and up hills but I can't take the b*****d to the shops ?

get a little horse whip and use it on him that way you don't do any damage to the dog,and there a good chance it will work.

Hi fellas,

I hope I'm in the right place. I don't work my boy, he's 5 and a great pet but he's a psycho on walks with other dogs. A few other lurcher owners have told me it's his hunting instinct and there's nothing I can do about it. I realise this might be a strange request here but I know you guys know more about this breed than anyone in the dog training scene. How can I get him to chill the f out on walks? Again, sorry if this isn't the right place but I thought it's worth a shot from one lurcher lover to another.

Thanks,

 

For what it is worth here is my advice

·         If the dog has actually attacked another dog or you are at all worried it will, you need to muzzle it for its own and other dog’s protection.

·         All dogs have it in them to actually attack other dogs but larger dogs with powerful mouths can be very dangerous.  

·         Hitting an untrained dog to stopping it going nuts at another dog is completely counterproductive. They might stop for that single moment (which might be important if they have attacked another dog) but they won’t have learnt anything apart from to be warry of you when other dogs are around which is exactly what you don’t want.  

·         Never shout at a dog.  All a dog hears is you barking very loudly – which is what you are doing.

If your dog is being aggressive but you can control it try to socialise it with other dogs. This really is the only way of solving the problem. You need to start with one dog. I would try to work with someone you know with a bitch of equivalent size. Try to gradually get them together in a field or a park.  Make sure your dogs is having a great time and let the other dog come near to you. As they approach you need to up the fun. If your dog starts to become aggressive don’t stop the fun but get the person to walk away with their dog.  

If your dog is being aggressive and you can't control it then you need to probably talk to a vet.

Curious to know if that has actually worked ,

 it’s still working off the principle that energy moves but A dog that has sparked off another has reached a high emotional state, the question remains whether you can reach that state in play with the dog , if not you playing catch up to Mother Nature which always know which objects absorb most energy ,

From your post there can i ask is he acting aggressive because hes anxious or because he genuinely hates other dogs? is he actually going over and grabbing hold or is he just pulling and barking whilst you hold him on the lead? Have you let him off the lead near any dogs, what did he do? If its due to anxiety, a nervous dog is a dangerous dog,  especially round kids, and i think smacking the dog wont correct it. If its acting aggressive out of hate for other dogs, id say it would be easier to correct and a good whip will give him boundaries.

So, it's been a few days and I've been walking him at night when it's quiet. There's only been one incident. He walked past a small toilet brush dog a few doors down and gave out, I tapped him with the end of the lead on his head and told him to pack it in and walked on. There was no one else out so when we got back I walked with him up to the dog's house, as he began to whine I tapped him again and walked a few yards up, turned around and walked past the house again... nothing, not even a whimper. I don't know if it's too early to say it's a success but it's had a good result. I have to say I'm not into beating dogs into submission and I certainly don't think anyone on here is suggesting that, but a smacked arse or a clip round the earhole gives a clear message that I'm taking no BS. I also give him loads and loads of love so he knows he's my boy. You can't put a dog on the naughty step or have a word with them so something physical has to be communicated. There's no aggression in it when I tap him with the lead, it's just assertiveness and I really do think it made him feel at ease knowing that I was in control. Like I said, he's good in the house, a friend brought their cocker over and they just played, another friend brought her GSD and he just followed her around until he realised she wasn't playing then left her alone. It's little dogs or English Bull Terriers (the type of dog that ripped into him a few years back) he seems to hate. He's a handsome bugger ain't he?

Has he ever attacked a dog?

He's never got hold of a dog. He barks, that's all. I've never seen him bite in aggression, ever. The times he has been off lead he's never sunk his teeth in.

Let him off then. Id say you keeping him on the lead is getting him wound up because he cant be inquisitive and sniff other dogs like theyre suppose to. Try going on a walk without putting him on the lead. If you dont do it you never will. I dont know if your experienced but your misinterpreting his behaviour with aggression. More than likely youve never seen real dog aggression. Let him off and relax. If he bothers other dogs check him. But putting him on a lead isnt a fix.
