How to deprogram an attack dog
 |
Before attempting to do any type of dog training like this your best bet is to contact a professional. However, the process is rather simple, yet repetitive. Below is one example of the type of training a professional might do to help reprogram your attack dog.
1. For the first several weeks simply take your attack dog out in public as often as you can and obviously keep him on a very short leash. The places that you take your dog should be very busy. Shopping malls, beaches, and city areas are perfect spots to expose your dog to the same moving people that it was trained to attack in the first place.
2. Each and every time that your dog leaps at someone you will need to literally snap him back to you and yell “NO!” in a loud and intimidating voice. If there are two of you whom own the dog then you will want to switch back and forth with the routine when you are out.
3. This may take up to 1 month but eventually the dog will start to feel more comfortable with the outside world and the people around it. Instead of wanting to attack, the dog is learning a routine habit to walk amongst people in a positive nature.
4. Next you will want to enroll your dog into an obedience training class so that he can get used to strange dogs. And like before, each time your former attack dog goes to leap at another dog, you snap him back fiercely and say “NO!”.
5. After several weeks of this training, your dog will soon be comfortable around other dogs and animals instead of wanting to attack them, just as it worked out when teaching him how to get used to strange people.
