Find Out How To Prevent Your Dog From Becoming Too Aggressive By Using Some Dog Training Skills
Recommended Answer:
The answer is yes, there is a lot that can be done to help you with this dog but I suggest your firstly enroll in obedience school, it will be good for both of you. This is just the type of dog I usuallly work with, and the bad behaviour comes from lack of training, exercise and Owner knowledge about what is and what is not good to do with a dog. Please find your local dog geek who can help you run this dog, train this dog and teach you how to react to any behaviour that is not appropriate.
Best of luck, there is always hope!
Kind regards
Reward Dog Training
- You can teach your dog to come on lead. Start on a six foot and work up to longer tracking leads. Let the dog go out to the end of the lead, call the dog, praise and reward with food or a toy when he comes. Use an inviting tone of voice, dogs name and come. Reel the dog in to be sure he comes right to you. I cannot give a training session this way, all these behaviors are fixable with time and dedication. I would look for training classes in you area,like kennel or obedience clubs. When you take classes you will need to follow through at home, you cannot train a dog once a week in class.
Good luck! - PLEASE READ ALL OF THIS IT WILL DEFINITELY HELP
haha good thing i saw this.
Never chase after a dog wants he's runaway or else it will make it harder to chase him. Bend down or kneel down to be eye level with him and call the dog excitedly and tell him to come if he doesn't start running the opposite way he's running and the dog's natural instinct will be to chase after you since they are driven to chase anything that's running away from them also call out his name and tell him to come. Wants he comes to you praise him. Don't scold him. Because the dog will think your scolding him because he came to you. Dogs are all about the moment.
To make him stop running away teach him come. Come is the most important command ever. Now to teach him come you can use two people. One holds the dog while the other is a distant from him and say come very excitedly while saying his name. Once he comes take a step or two back to provoke him to come to you faster. And praise him. Keep doing this until he gets use to it.
If there isn't two people than play chase with him you're the one being chased and he follows. If your at a distant from the dog quickly turn around but still walking backwards and tell him to come. Then if he comes praise him to death. Dogs love praises more than treats surprisingly. He'll love it and want to do it plenty more plus your burning calories haha.
If your dog still has the problem contact me at hostufME428@aim.com or hotstufME428@yahoo.com i have plenty of more info to keep a dog from running away if your curious or these info didn't help. Thank you.BTW AMAZING MIX I WOULD LOVE TO HAVE A MIX LIKE YOURS HAHA - You'd be better off at a private facility that uses positive methods. With PetSmart classes, well, the quality depends on the instructor. Some are great, and some suck. It would be in your best interests to enroll him in an all-around high quality class with an experienced, helpful instructor who can personally help you.
Akitas and Huskies are athletes with incredible stamina. A mere walk is not likely to be adequate exercise! I mean, come on, think about your dog. Akitas were bred to be powerful bear-hunting dogs. Huskies have the strength, energy and stamina to pull a sled for miles and miles. Your dog has serious exercise needs, and you need to meet them. Talk him for SEVERAL brisk, very long walks daily. Take up jogging or running. Go hiking. Go swimming. Play with him for a few hours. You have a high energy dog, and it is your responsibility to drain that energy. Remember, a tired dog is a good dog.
Huskies are notorious escape artists. I'm not surprised in the least that he constantly runs away.

About his thinking he's the "pack leader:"

When he chases you, what do you do? Keep running? If so, can you blame him for chasing? How to teach him not to chase:

Here's how to be a tree, if that post didn't explain thoroughly:

When does he bite, and what do you do? He might bite simply because he has not learned proper bite inhibition, in which case he doesn't fully know *not* to bite:

Or, he may be biting simply because he has learned that it works. I mean, if he bites you and you get out of his way (random example), he has learned that biting you is an effective way to make you move. - A lot of good answers so far but here's my 2 cents: The Akita is a very dominant breed and that's a big underlying reason for the problems you are having. His need for exercise and his lack of training are others. Get him enrolled in an obediance class-your vet probably has some good leads. Start socializing him as much as possible-Akitas need good social skills or they can become a handful around strangers. Take him on long walks or do things that stimulate his brain a few times a day. Weekends, treat him and yourself to parks and trails-keep finding new places to go. I did this every weekend with my guy-it was great fun for both of us and invaluable as a way for us to bond. Akitas take a lot of work up front but the payback is huge later on-they are loyal to a fault.
