Treatment & Prevention Of Dog Aggression Biting & Fighting

What you'll learn
Prevent dog aggression in the first place with early puppyhood socialization and handling.
Recognize early warning signs and address aggression problems before they become serious.
Teach a dog to develop bite inhibition.
Prevent dog reactivity with the concept of multiple subliminal bite stimuli.
Treat dogs with aggression problems using Differential Classical Conditioning (DCC) to prevent the unintentional reinforcement of reactivity during classical conditioning.
Set up training scenarios to accelerate classical conditioning (rather than trying to resolve problems in the course of every day life).
Empower low-level primary reinforcers as the highest-level, mega-secondary reinforcers to maximize classical conditioning.
Facilitate puppy play sessions so pups can develop bite inhibition towards other dogs.
Immediately resolve fearfulness and bullying in puppy play sessions.
Utilize Come-Sit-Watch commands to break stares and decrease tension and threatening behaviors between dogs.
Objectively assess the severity of fighting and biting (Fight/Bite Ratio and Bite Scale)
Assess treatment prognosis and the time required to retrain an aggressive dog.
Use the Jolly Routine for classical conditioning.
Organize a Growl Class for reactive (but not dangerous) dogs.

Description
All dogs will display some level of aggression or reactivity at some point in their life, so learning how to address this type of behavior is critical for any dog owner or dog trainer.With a little knowledge and preparation it is easy to prevent almost all aggression, and to quickly address any aggression issues as they begin to emerge, before they develop into problems that can quickly decrease the quality of life for dog and owner alike.These days, I'm pleased to say that many owners understand the importance of early puppyhood socialization. Unfortunately, far fewer owners understand the important of maintaining that socialization through adolescence and adulthood, when dogs naturally become more shy and stand-offish. All too often, a dog will get into a single dog fight that will scare their owners into avoiding other dogs, depriving their own dog of the social interaction they need for rehabilitation. Without ongoing positive social experiences, the dog's sociability only deteriorates further, resulting in self-reinforcing, downward spiral of de-socialization.As soon as you recognize any developing reactivity or aggression you should treat it. The sooner you do, the easier it will be. And the methods used in the treatment of dog aggression are remarkably similar to those used for prevention, except that treatment usually takes dramatically longer.Recently though, new techniques have been developed to accelerate and maximize classical conditioning, progressive desensitization and ultimately, re-socialization. These methods make it possible to rehabilitate dogs as quickly and thoroughly as possible.
