Dog Health Questions: My dog trapped my mom in the cornor with his aggression?

just now my dog was getting dirty underwear and my mom tried to take it away from him and he started growling. she told him no firmly and looked him in the eye like she was a leader. he started growling again and this times he jumped up at her snapping his teeth trieing to bite her in te face, but that wasnt enough, he then started jumping up at her and snapping again at her backing her up in the corner. how does a person react to something like this? in the wolf pack, when someone attacks the leader, the leader shows him who is the boss by attacking him back with more power. i am from russia, so when my mom was younger she said that in russia when a dog is aggressive with their owner the owner should take out a belt and hit them on the bum. she said that everyone did this, and NO dogs had problems with aggression. even her own dog at first was growling but when she did this he NEVER EVER growled again but loved her very much. the techniques that are in dog training books dont work should i just hit him on his bum with my hand, not the belt because that kinda too cruel.

WHY look him in the eye, this is a CHALLENGE, not an alpha thing!
I suggest you get a pro trainer. You both seem to have no clue what you're doing due to previous questions, and this dog will end up put down because of you. Why does he not know the Leave It or Drop It command?
Get a trainer before somebody gets hurt.

Basic Dog Training - Timing And Body Language

• First, you should punish the dog as soon as possible after the incident so it knows whats going on.
  
  Second a good dose of cold water poured on his snout would be just as effective and that way you don't have to beat him.
  
  Preferably firm voice or yelling should help. Never hit a dog with your hand, the hand is for petting.


• Many canine misbehaviors are born out of instinct, and most arise from either boredom or stress and aggressive behavior is one of them.
  
  Shown here are some useful tips on aggression, http://dogtime.com/aggression-toward-peo…


• Keep him restrained at all times until you get a handle on it.
  
  Aggressive corporal punishment can work quite effectively, but it can quickly lead to abuse if you're not strict with yourself.


• He's obviously not trying to bite her if he's jumping on her snapping...and yet she's not full of holes. You need to consult a trainer and they'll show you how to deal with him.


• Your dog wears underwear?


• Anything you do will not stop aggression toward your mother. Since the incident has passed, you need to deal with it the next time, this time is over and the dog won't remember what he's being punished for, especially since to him, it was normal behavior.
  
  You don't say what type of dog you have, but if it's a smaller dog, a quick "tsh!" sound followed by a push with your hand shaped like a dog mouth (picture it) on its shoulder to break it from the "trance" it's about to go into will help.If it's larger, you can do the same thing, but you may need to keep the dog on a lead for awhile if you think it's going to try this again.
  
  It obviously has a possessiveness issue, but that cannot be allowed. Your mother has to be the boss again. She needs to be the one taking control-- unless she's frightened now, in which case it's you that needs to do it.
  
  The hitting on the bum with anything only teaches the dog to be scared of you, not respectful. Scared can go away and can mean that the dog can repeat the behavior. But if the dog respects you and your mother, he won't do that after a few corrections.
  
  Good luck.


• time to put him down before he hurts someone!


• Well, time to pull out the shovel. Its a shame.... Just hit him flat in the back of the head with it. That will put him out cold, all quick and painless....
  
  Lol I'm kidding. what I have found works fairly well is to give them a light smack on the size of the muzzel (their mouth). It kind of jerks their head and may snap them out of it.
  
  You can also try to force him down to the ground with his belly up and hold him there until he relaxes. Laying on the ground with the belly up is a sign of submission. If you can force him into that position, it can help to calm him down, and he starts to learn he needs to take he submissive role, not the dominant role.
