Getting Familiar With An Adult/aggressive Dog by Prodeegee(m): 2:22am On Sep 15, 2015
Adult dogs are sometimes seen as aggressive dogs, sometimes due to the intimidating size of the dog. However, it is important to know that not every adult dog has aggression issues.



BRINGING AN ADULT DOG HOME

Often times I have introduced adult dogs to my home. As easy as this may sound, it might also be tasking.

First Impression Matters

Lets start off with meeting the dog initially, for those who are intimidated by the size of a dog, It is ideal to know that if you think a dog is too big for you to handle, you probably shouldn't be handling the dog. If not, then take the dog by the leash and walk the dog(with the previous owner beside you) on a distance long enough to get him exhausted.

This helps the dog burn off energy and calms him on getting to the new home.

START A ROUTINE WITH YOUR DOG

How well you conduct a routine for the new dog determines how fast your dog will get used to his new environment. It is your responsibility to set rules so as to avoid having a problematic dog later.
Here are a few steps to help your dog understand how things are done in his new home.

- Walk the Dog. It is very essential you socialize your new friend by taking regular daily walks. This can also be used for potty training. Right from the first day he gets in, do not allow him make the mistake of pooping where you don't want him to. Take him out for walks and spend more time in the area you want him to poop. As it is said, there's nothing that helps a dog get trained than consistency. Be consistent in your routines,

- You want it? SIT! This is a very important step in bonding with your dog. Before you drop the food dish, before you let him walk out of the door, before you pet him. by doing this, he'll start to think all good things comes only when he behaves in a desired manner.

Don't share your meal. Its not ideal to share your meals with your dog. if you do, then don't blame the dog for begging, Also don't add table scraps to his food. This way he'll understand people's food is strictly for people.

Get your new dog acquainted with everyone in his new home. Allow everyone take turns in walking the dog. This way he understands his family members and knows how many people are included in his new family. Note: If you have a baby in the house then you might be taking a risk bringing in an adult dog. It is important for your dog to grow with your kid.

This way, your dog gets the attention he needs, exercise and all the love he can get from the family,

you should start potty training your puppy as soon aa he gets to your home.

ans for your jumping rott. if its just due to excitement, theres nothng to worry about. but you can stop the habit by always giving a stern look when he comes close and a 'NO'.

Nice one Prodeegee.....
Potty training : this can be done @ anystage of life,either @ pup or adult.... of u don't have much time to walk a dog, there are other ways to potty train. This is called crate train! This way, u keep d dog in d crate or cage not too large( definately, a dog doesn't like to mess it's own house nd remain there) for d day. If it a pup, release out of d cage to d spot u want it to poo in the morning, and intervals of about 3hrs.
Note; dogs poo nd pee in the morning + mostly after eating..... if u repeat dis process for a pup, overtime, whe it pressed, it will cry till it let out.
FOR an adult: release in the morning to s spot u want, repeat in d noon nd evening. Overtime when d dog is used to it, release in the morning nd evening. It will learn to hold pee nd poo till wen released! JADO: 08025074110, 08065425620 ( whatsapp). Pin; 2C1826B3

ive seen worse. It all ends when you handover the leash. Sometimes youll have to take the dog out of his territory before you can hand over. Only a few still show aggression after the handover. Like the one l handled at the lagos dog walk.

Disclaimer: if you feel you cant handle the dog seek professional advice. Dont risk your dear fingers.

Its quite easy but also requires patience. First you should know about "charging the marker", it can also be referred to as praise or reward. Whenever he jumps on you, fold your arms and walk away "immediately". It should be known that dogs dont jump to annoy us. This is the way they greet us. They want to greet us in our face or can be caused due to inadequate mental exercise, physical exercise and or overall communication
The best way to teach our dogs is to correct them before they perform an unwanted behaviour. If you know your dog quite well, you should when shes about to jump. You say "NO" and ask her to sit then reward her for sitting.

Potty training, JADO93 has said it all, but since it's puppy, it requires close supervision since they poo and pee regularly. For quicker result, this should be done almost 24 hrs, with time he'd know his spot
