I have smacked her but it doesn't make any difference.
Could it be that I had her spayed before her first Heat?
Answers:
snapping and biting is usually unrelated to a dog being spayed. Is your dog a nervous dog or a dominant one? as either of these could be the problem. If it is a dominant dog then it can be easily rectified with simple re-training of the dogs position in the household. Not letting it on furniture..ignoring it when she asks for your attention, restricting acces to certain parts of the house. If it is nervous aggression then it needs to see a behavioural counsellor as it is very hard to break the cycle. In the meantime..take your dog to training classes and when out muzzle the dog. If she goes to show any agression..make her sit and pay attention to you.if she does this give her a treat..this sort of behaviour could end up getting your dog put to sleep..so it needs sorting now before it gets worse..what if she bites a child? theres no going back from that..and dont smack her..if you smack her when she is near people for the behaviour..she will associate these people with her getting smacked..so will ultimately re-inforce her behaviour. Get some behavioural advice immediately
Muzzle it
Muzzle her before you get into a situation where you may have to get rid of her
Put a web cover on her mouth,but be careful not to suffocate the poor thing!
Go to The Dog Whisperer's website. He is a genius when it comes to dogs. Sorry, I don't have the website name right now.
Spaying has nothing to do with.
When she snaps at people/dogs speak sharply to her, give the leash a little jerk to get her attention. If she's in your house and snaps then roll up a newspaper and smack your hand, she should react to the sound without hitting her. Don't be surprised if you have to swat her behind once or twice with it.
A lot of people put pebbles in empty plastic containers and rattle them loudly when the dog misbehaves, you might want to try that.
Spray bottles filled with water and squirt her behind.
It's good you had her spayed - the sooner the better for this sort of thing. It sounds like she has some serious behaviour problems which need to be addressed before such times as she bites someone. You have to show her that you're the boss of her %26 this snapping is not on. Smacking her will just make her more mad. You didn't say when this snapping happens - is it in your home or when you're out walking? Is she on leash when the other dogs aren't? All these things can influence how a dog feels about a situation %26 she could very well be scared. At any rate you must give her a firm "NO" anytime she does it %26 try to remove her from the situation. For some training ideas you can contact your council for classes or the local SPCA - they can put you on the right track. It will help to socialise your dog %26 you will be able to have some control over her.
Get a book on training from your local library or bookstore and read it. That's a really simple fix that you could learn yourself in less time than it would take for me to type it out.
Take the dog to a proper training centre where there are other owners and their dogs. The trainers will be able to advise you on how to control the dog.
You should be able to keep the animal under control. Training is essential for all breeds. There is no such thing as a bad dog, only the owners are the problem.
Incidentally, you should not smack the dog or hit it, it does not understand being hit. Because you treat the dog aggressively, it will think that is normal and behave aggressively to other dogs and other people.
You are foolish for being violent to the dog and not training it properly, and if you don't want to take it to be trained correctly, then you shouln't be owning a dog at all.
aiya!!@@@@@@@@@@@@@@.
Dun bring it out lar.silly
I'm assuming that this is mainly a problem when you go on walks? Spaying her will help you deal with this problem so that is tick off on the list.
Smacking her wouldn't make a difference because she is probably snapping out of fear and if you turn on her as well in situations where she is so nervous she feels she must attack to protect herself, it will just make her feel even more insecure and fearful of situations.
She is young enough to learn better behaviour reasonably easily but she will not grow out of this on her own and you must take action. The main tasks are to reduce her fear and teach her the correct way to act with other dogs and people.
First step is to put a muzzle on her so that you don't worry about her hurting someone. A muzzle is not cruel in this situation especially when you realise that some day another dog will retaliate and harm her, or she could actually start to bite. Also with enough retraining she will not always need it. If you are relaxed because she can't snap then she will sense it and it will help her relax. When you take her out, prevent her from being approached by/approaching other dogs. Ask people not to pet her explaining she is nervous. Act as her leader by protecting her from these situations she cannot deal with. Over time she will learn to trust that you will deal with the situation for her and she doesn't need to take action.
In the meantime you need to build on distraction techniques. Does she have a favourite toy or do treats make her tick? Everytime you pass some one or a dog get her attention with the toy or by holding a treat and walk on by. When she successfully passes the person praise her. Use the same method if a dog approaches her. Call her away and reward her for responding to you. Move away from the other dog. I know some dogs can be persistant and hassle your dog but persevere, this problem will take time to improve.
Take her to group training classes (speak with the instructor first so that she can be around other dogs and people while learning to focus on you.
You dont mention if she is snapping at visitors to your home or people she already knows. Maybe you could elaborate on the situations when she snaps for more specific advice.
Please, don't hit your dog, she can learn to retaliate and start biting you, too.Aggression does not solve aggression, it escalates it.I see that a lot of people are advising you to take your dog to training classes.Please, don't.First of all, when aggression is involved, the Come, Sit, Down, Stay behaviors won't do anything for your dog's aggression. Your dog has become a liability, and I don't think a good trainer would allow you to join a class, because it would jeopardize the safety of others..What you need is not a trainer, but an animal behaviorist, there's a huge difference between the two professionals, the animal behaviorist is well qualified to get to the root of the aggression problem and place the dog into a rehabilitation program, while trainers are not qualified to do that.Find a good animal behaviorist in your area, or, if you can, get Cesar Millan to help you, it won't hurt if you write him an email..Here's his website: www.dogpsychologycenter.com Once you get the aggression completely eliminated, you can join as many classes as you want.Good luck!
You do Not train a dog by smacking her !
Go to dog school to socialise her and train YOU !
This question shows clearly that not only are you of low intellect but you are an abusive owner too. Personally I think you must be a troll but just in case you aren'y. First option and probably the best for the dog is to rehome her with someone who has a clue.
Failing that, book yourself and her into some training classes. She needs to be socialised. Of course it means that everyone in the class will see just how thick you are, probably less intelligent than the dog you own, but you have a chance to redeem yourself and learn something about how to train your dog. I feel sorry for your dog. She is a pound dog waiting to happen. :0(
remove her teeth. lol
u can try using a muzzel.
