He is very sweet and expressive, but yesterday he tried to kill my neighbors cat, the cat luckily got away. Then today his best friend (which is a beautiful French mastiff) walked to our house to play and my dog attacked him brutally biting the inside of his neck and shaking it and also biting his head. The mastiff got really sad and shied away. My dog (his name is Thomas) really just became crazy aggressive and it was not cool. But right after the french mastiff left, thomas was happy again. then when the french mastiff thought it was okay to go near, thomas attacked him again.
I slapped thomas and took him inside, the french mastiff was really sad because he lives his days alone and his owners do not let him inside hishouse. So he roams.
When I went inside, I bought a metal Prong collar on ebay and then a 1 and a half inch black leather collar for him.
Will you think the prong will help?
He also pulls me to a point where he drags me and he growls and it is crazy.
Where did he get this mean all of a sudden?
And the rest of the times he is super nice and sweet.
Are these collars the best way to control him?
I also plan to take him to dog training.
Bird Dog Training - How Hunting Dogs Are Treated
Recommended Answer:
First order of business is a visit to the vet. many ailments will manifest themselves in aggression. If he is not neutered, do that first. Have a full thyroid panel done. A prong collar is fine as a training tool but you need to learn to use it properly and enroll him in training as well. Be up front with the trainer about his issues- a regular intro obedience class is not what you need.
The Many Types Of Dog Training
- well you can try the collar it may help. However you may just want to consider taking your dog to the vet, since pure bred dogs have a higher risk for health problems and disease (some of which cause aggression). I hope the collar works for you. its not a bad idea.
- I think that those collars should be banned they are cruel. Your dog should have a muzzle on and you should get some professional training one on one until your can be with others.
- I have a friend that swears by this guide he purchased online. All I know is his dog is very well behaved and really protects his family, especially the girls.
- yes
- I have a pit and i have a problem with her pulling and trying to drag me down the street and i got one like your talking about and it works wonders! She will stay right with me and she never gets out of her collar anymore. I'm sorry i don't think its cruel either. if your dogs doesn't pull it doesn't bite. If you dog keeps trying to pull away from you he is gonna pay for it. all of the people with aggressive strong dogs out there have to do something, we have to take them to the vet and stuff just like you guys.
- Training is the best way to control him. Without proper training, NO tool will be effective.
You need to keep your dog on leash at all times. You need to build a proper fence. You need to supervise him when he is outside. You need to take 100% responsibility for your dog.
Your dog is a liability. If he attacks a person, he could be euthanized. If he does not get euthanized, there can be sever restrictions placed on him that include a muzzle when he is off your property, a leash that is 4ft, getting him neutered, special licences, you will need more insurance and other things.
