Treating Severe Dog Aggression

Part I: Understanding Your Dog With Aggression

READ THIS BEFORE EUTHANIZING YOUR DOG

By: Bill Glatzel, M.S. Animal Behaviorist ,

FACT:
95% of aggression can be managed and controlled, yet over 80% of dogs reported to have severe aggression die each year and are euthanize because of lack of training or the wrong kind of training.

Most Veterinarians, and most Dog Trainers, are well intentioned, but don't have a clue how to deal with aggression effectively. The first thing that needs to be said is aggression is very serious. No one should ever attempt to deal with aggression without the help of an experienced and professional dog trainer who specializes in aggression. Two things usually happen. The dog gets put to death, or a poor attempt is made to fix the problem with someone or some dogs getting hurt, in some cases very seriously hurt.

Q: Do I need a Dog Trainer, an Animal Behaviorist, a Veterinarian, or Someone who specializes in Behavioral Medicine?

A: It is best to consult with an Animal Behaviorist who specializes in Behavioral Medicine and one who works with many Veterinarians' who have a good understanding of many complicated medical factors that typically involve neurochemical, hormonal, metabolic, and genetic factors, and sometimes dietary and nutritional components as well.

Q: I've always been told I should go see my vet first. Why is this not correct?

A: Probably not alone. Most dog trainers teach basic obedience commands like sit, stay, come. They may also help with basic manners, stop jumping, and stop barking, potty training. But when it comes to severe aggression, this is not basic manners; this is not just about training. The best person to help you is an Animal Behaviorist that is also a trainer and one who specializes in Behavioral Medicine. Most dog trainers often can't deal with severe aggression and tell you to put the dog down, or they make the dog more aggressive because they don't understand canine behavior from a multifaceted approach and perspective. Anyone can call themselves a dog trainer. There are no standards, no licensing, and no qualification requirements. On the other hand an Animal Behaviorist has earned either a Masters Degree or a PhD, from an accredited college or university and has extensive education in animal behavior along with real field work and research. An Animal Behaviorist is a Behavioral Scientist. Many dog trainers may mean well and be very well intentioned, but they ethically should except their limitations in training, education and experience, and refer you to an Animal Behaviorist.

Q: Isn't aggression in dogs kind of normal? Aren't they predators by nature?

A: NO. Aggression in dogs is abnormal. Most all dogs are not aggressive; most all dogs do not bite. Most severe aggression is a combination of unwanted learned behavior, genetics, neurochemical imbalance, hormonal imbalance, metabolic deficiencies, and also possible diet and nutritional factors. There are other medical factors that can be implicated in a causative factor in aggression such as diabetes, encephalitis, seizure disorders, spinal cord and brain injuries, head trauma, these are just to name a few.

Q: I watch Cesar Milan on the "Dog Whisperer." Can't I do what he does and fix my dogs aggression?

A: Cesar has been bit many times; he also always recommends you hire a professional. Cesar admits he is not a behaviorist. Most Animal Behaviorists disagree with many of his methods and consider them to be of more hurt and danger to the dog that real help. We don't recommend his training methods for severe behavioral problems like aggression and anxiety.

TLC K9 ACADEMY is known Nationwide as the premier Aggression experts and Off-LeashObedience specialists. Their approach to aggression may be a bit different, but the fact is it works! TLC K9 ACADEMY saves the lives of many extremely aggressive dogs when other trainers/behaviorists and Veterinarians offer no hope but to euthanize and put to death the dog, someone's beloved pet and companion. Our goal is to manage the dog's aggression and manage the space of the dog so to prevent aggression. All aggression is because of a "real" or "perceived" threat. It is important to evaluate if the threat is real or not. A reaction that manifests itself in aggression may be very real. In some of these instances, we need to evaluate if the response of aggression is appropriate or not. If a person is attempting to hurt you or your dog, an aggressive response by your dog may be very appropriate and welcomed by you in this type of situation. However, having family guests over for the holidays and having your dog tear into uncle Ted just because he sits on the couch in your living room is very inappropriate and unwelcomed. Next in Part II; First Steps to Managing Aggression.

Bill Glatzel is the Owner and Founder of TLC K9 Academy, they offer dog training Phoenix, and Dog Training Scottsdale. Phoenix dog obedience, and other Phoenix dog training.

Moving to London

London is a great place to live and work, with a lot of cultural diversity and a huge range of attractions, making it an exciting and fun place to live.

If you’re planning on moving house to London, then you’ll find that property prices vary significantly from one part of London to another and you if you’re moving to London for work, you may consider instead buying or renting somewhere in one of the surrounding counties – Essex, Hertfordshire, Buckinghamshire, Berkshire, Surrey or Kent (starting to the North East of London and finishing South East of London).

Here, property prices will be significantly cheaper and you’ll be able to commute to work for £1,000 - £2,500 or so a year, depending on your location.

For removals to London, parking is often an issue, so we recommend obtaining a parking permit for your removal van and perhaps planning your house or office move for a relatively quiet time of day. If you're moving to London from elsewhere, it may be best to use a London van man or removal company who knows their way around London, or if not choose a van man who has a satellite navigation system, to ensure you don't spend hours drive round London trying to locate your new house.

Choosing which area of London to move to

Many people say that when you relocate to London, you will always be a ‘Northerner’ or a ‘Southerner’, depending on which side of the Thames you are on.

North London has more tube stations and public transport and has always been considered more up-market.  The majority of London’s business and corporate world is based North of the river, so when you’re in North London, there is a feeling of industry.

North London includes Archway, Hampstead and Highgate, which have more of a small town atmosphere, with several large parks and a good selection of pubs and restaurants.

North West London includes Camden, Kilburn, Notting Hill, Willesden Green and Wembley, where there is an active night life with busy markets and up market restaurants and bars. The most popular markets include Camden and Portobello Road.

West London (but still North of the river) includes Acton, Hammersmith and  Shepherd’s Bush, where a large number of Aussies and Kiwis have relocated.  The houses in West London are more affordable than the rest of North London.

The history of South London is that it used to be outside of the city walls, so it was once a rural location.  As a result of this, South London has more parks and greenery.  You’re also closer to Brighton and the seaside.

In South London you find Battersea, Brixton, Clapham and Wandsworth, where many old factories have been replaced by modern apartments.  Battersea is home to the Dog’s and Cats home, the New Covent Garden Market and Battersea park, containing 83 hectares of greenery.  While the whole of the London underground is crowded and busy, Clapham Junction is the busiest station in the whole of Europe, with trains transporting people to a wide range of destinations.

South West London is the location of Earl’s Court, Fulham, Putney, Wimbledon and Southfields.  Earls Court in Kensington and Chelsea has a thriving social atmosphere and is home to the Earls Court Exhibition Centre, one of the country's largest indoor arenas and a popular concert venue.

The area of London best known for its industry is perhaps the South East, with Canary Wharf, the Docklands being home to numerous businesses and huge office blocks for banks and other major industries.  The relatively new Docklands Light Rail is fairly prices and offers a quick route to the center of London from the South East.  Canary Wharf and the Docklands are comprised primarily of commercial enterprises, so for more of a social and historical atmosphere, we’d recommend Greenwich instead.
