Control Your Aggressive Dog With These 4 Dog Training Tips

• Stop riding on your dog's back!!! It will cause him major back injuries. A dog can only carry 1/3 of their body weight... so if your St. Bernard weighs, 100 lbs, he can only carry 33 lbs. If you do not stop, you will cause your dog's back to become injured. If one of his discs ruptures or other back injuries result, it can cost thousands of dollars to fix and he will need several months of rehab and crate rest. Is it really worth putting him through months of pain for just a few minutes of you having fun?


• OK, you want to ride your dog....well i say go for it, get on that *** and ride away, thats what i do, but normamly its not a dog, oh well, same principles


• Dont take advantage of your dogs size. You may make it aggresive riding on its back like a horse or worse,injur it. Grow up and stop playing around on your dogs back!


• You shouldn't attempt to "ride" your dog....it can hurt him, and im sure you wouldn't want that to happen.


• dogs shouldn't really be ridden. it's bad for their backs.
