What can I do stop the behavior and tell him that it is bad? I really don't want to go old school, but it is the only way I know to teach a dog not to do things. Anyone know a good way to reinforce good behavior and stop bad behavior?
Also does anyone know how pricey personal at home dog training is (on average)? I couldn't find any sites with rates.
Do You Need Dog Training Tools When You Train Your Dog?
Recommended Answer:
I really agree that a shock collar would be best for this situation. It doesn't hurt as long as you keep it on a low level (I should know, I try it on myself before I ever put it on any of my dogs)
When he is behaving, give him a treat and praise. This needs to be nipped in the butt now, otherwise you are going to have a full grown monster.
Ignore the other comments that say Shock collars are cruel, because I have had so many dogs that I train competitively. I have had dogs that tried to be dominate, but one shock and they usually never do it again then are happy for the rest of their lives.
It is better to stop this now than to have this dog end up getting put down for biting.REMEMBER TO KEEP IT ON A LOW LEVEL.

- Well, I would try putting him on a leash go into a room with him with 1 family member at a time. First you will lead your dog to the person~if he makes a move quickly take him out the room,wait till he calms down for a minute and re-enter. Doing this process enough times will get him used to each individual person. Once he is right there next to them and they can pet him, praise him and you may let the other person give him a treat. Hope this helps!
- Hi there,
What you could try is watch some videos on Youtube of the series "It's me or the dog" and try and get tips from it....
Once I saw the woman make a sharp shout noise, and surprisingly the dog stopped....
Give it a shot....
Good luck! - Try a remote trainer. It has a device you press that gives the dog a shock when it misbehaves.

training, exercise, socialzation will help
professional trainer to teach you have to train will do wonders if you work at it - I would not start with a shock collar. You just got this pup yesterday and he is a pup. What you need to do is when someone comes in the room tell them to call the pup's name so as not to startle him, if he growls tell him no in a stern voice. He needs some time to get used to who belongs and who doesn't. Try not to keep him from the other members of the family so he can get used to them and know they belong and it wouldn't hurt if they played with him. I do not know what a prof. trainer would cost to come to your house. I suggest you start training and socializing him yourself. Also taking him to a puppy class would be good for him to get used to other people and dogs and the both of you to learn some things. Just give the pup some time for gosh sakes.
- I'm glad you are looking for some dog training help, because this is what the dog really needs. For the dog to learn to do as he is told, including not showing aggression towards other people, he needs to learn to follow your instructions. Although a few people have suggested a shock collar instead, that can actually make the issue worst. If you zap the dog at the wrong time, the dog may think the people are attacking (causing the pain) and then the dog will become more aggressive. If the dog is in part acting out of fear, then the dog will become more fearful which can drive even more aggression. Below is a website which has some more information about dog aggression and about becoming your dog's leader.
