Information Is The Key - Same In Case Of Dog Trainings
Recommended Answer:
Don't you think that she was at the pound for a reason, even being adorable as you call her?
The dog has serious nerve problems. It is a genetic issue that she was born with and will have for the rest of her life.
Her ranks are where fear biters come from which is what her problem is...fear based aggression, hence the urination and the growling and biting. Dogs like that are better off euthanized to end their suffering!

Using Body Language in Your Dog Training
- Let the Dog come to you on her terms, she may perceive you coming to her as a threat. a few treats should have done the trick... Maybe she is in pain and this is her defense... If she runs around and plays with her toys, eat and drinks fine, she probably isn't in pain (hopefully not) More than likely she is just scared... keep the volumes down on stereos and tvs when you are around her and always use a calm reassuring voice. love and praise can go a looong way.
- Your dog is afraid. Give her time. One week is not enough time. Let her come to you and feed her lots of treats. If she won't come to you to get them, toss them to her. Time is going to be what this girl needs. You will have to be patient. Don't try to pick her up, and if she does approach pet her under her chin not on top of her head. Dogs hate to be patted on the head. Take it slow and thanks for adopting!
- You have no way of knowing what kind of mis treatment she has been through. So be patient always talk in a slow low voice. Get her some tasty treats. Like you could boil some chicken breast, just or her. Sit on the floor and coax her to you with the chicken. She is probably scared to death, remembering her past life. It may take a while for her to trust you .don't give up once she trusts you and loves you , she will be your best friend. Bless you for saving her.
- well seems like your dogs past owner treat her really badly. So the best thing to do his to get her trust. one thing i would do is take your dog on daily walk if you can and praise your dog much as possible. keep loving her . It will take some time. i could be couple days or weeks or maybe month it just matters how bad her past owner treated her
- It is very good that you rescued a puppy who needed a home. Just take things slowly. For now, just practice short sessions where you toss some really good treats to her. Remember to ignore her and not do any eye-contact while you are doing this. Eye contact can be perceived as a threat by a dog. Stay at a far distance and do this. You may also want to crouch down so that you appear smaller and do not seem as threatening. Just keep repeating this until she is more comfortable with you.
Then you can start tossing the treats a bit farther away from her and a bit closer to you so she has to move towards you a bit to get the treat. Then just keep repeating. Once she is comfortable, then reduce the distance slowly. You want to try and get her to come to you rather than the other way around. - OH how sad......what i would do is is she does that i would say NO really loud then force her in to a crate (cage) keep her in there for 5 min then let her out again. she wont like being in there so every time she tryed to bite you she will go back in there. start a 5 min then go up 1-2 mins every time. teach her that the crate is BAD. if i knew you i would be able to help more but (like i could take matters into my oun hands since i have alot of exsperence with dogs like that.) teach her that the crate is a BAD place to be. is she starts to be a good girl take her to perco/petsmarts and get her a toy (let her pick it out :) )
but when she is bad you take it way and put her in the crate.
~~~hope this helps~~~~
what else you can do is you can get this dog food that is in the shape of like.....salami and cute some for her and put it in her hand. DOGS LOVE IT and she will learn to trust you. dont just give it to her if she doesn't get it tho. this would be a reward if she comes to you. if she doesn't come to you just rap it up and put it waya. try again later when she is relaxing - You need to rule out any serious medical problems. Even though you got her from the shelter and she had a basic exam before adoption, the shelter does not do extensive examinations and bloodwork and all that. She could be in serious pain that is exacerbated by being touched, thus the scary aggressive response to your approach.
If it is truly a psychological issue stemming from neglect or abuse, you need to remember 2 things - patience above all, and "love" does not cure dogs. She needs exercise, discipline and affection to return her to balance. Taking her for walks is a great way to bond and build trust. Setting boundaries and keeping your rules consistent lets her know where she stands in the "pack" (no rules = confusion and anxiety) and affection should be earned by obedience and calmness. For more information, you should read cesar milan's books. - You should read any book by Cesar Milan (the dog whisperer). You need to dominate this little pup calmly. This is how you will gain her trust. She is probably afraid because of past abuse. She's learned to use aggression. This cases requires you to give the dog rules and discipline before any affection. The dog must be calm before any rewards come- even treats. You cannot be afraid of her bite. You shouldn't isolate her either. You must learn to act like a pack leader and correct her when she's being aggressive. Do this before she becomes an adult, otherwise you may have a dangerous dog on your hands. Learn to put her on her side to calm her down (like dogs do to each other).
- Give her some time. The dog doesn't see you as a pack member and doesn't trust you yet. She's not trying to be mean, she's just scared. You won't be hugging/picking this dog up for awhile. For now just have her a safe place to where she can retreat like a crate. Give her, her space. When walking towards the dog, get on your knees and be more on her level. Just do everything for the dog and the dog will soon see you as the caretaker leader. Like feed her, give her water, walk her and that's all, just the bare minimum. Being overbearing can actually make the dog become more aggressive. Just give the poor little guy some room and time and she will grow to trust you!
The most wonderful experience i remember was giving my foster dog a bath, it seemed all her aggression was leaving as i washed her dirty body. Just take it by one small step at a time. Also have her checked by a vet just to clear out any health problems she might be suffering.
Honestly, that shelter shouldn't have given you such a difficult puppy. I would look into finding an animal behaviorist as well. Give her some time it took one of my dogs 3 months to actually let me pet her.
Some dogs will never trust strangers if they were abused very badly and don't have good nerves (genetics). It's like a woman being abused by men. If she was abused bad enough, she may never trust men again. If that is the case then look for a good trainer to help you or consider putting the poor guy out of his misery. - Take an extra dose of patience!! For right now forget about picking her up. Go into a room with her, preferably one that you can shut off. Sit on the floor. Keep your body at an angle to her.(you don't just have to sit there, take a book,etc.) This makes you look smaller to her. Talk low, and soft, no sudden moves !! Don't reach out to her to pet her, but maybe a treat would be appreciated. Don't make her take it from your hand. Slide it to her on the floor. Do this for a few days, several times a day. You will start to see a big difference.
During everyday interactions, don't face your dog head on. Turn alittle to the side, and don't look directly into her eyes. Whenever you can hunch down on your knees to talk to her, again, turn alittle to the side. Sounds like this little guy has had a bad beginning. You may want to talk to a professional on dog behavior. Give it your best shot! Patience and Good Luck!! alot of good info online. - Ok, ignore the person who wants the puppy to be put to sleep. That's ridiculous. The dog is terrified of her new home and doesn't trust you.
I suggest giving her treats like everyone is stating but do not stand above her. That is a very dominating position. Lay down on the ground with her and give her the treats. Being on the same level with her with show that she should not fear you. But give it time. My puppy was the same way when I got her from the shelter. She was scared of EVERYTHING! But she's adapted nicely. Just give her some time. She will end up being an awesome pet.
