Sibling Aggression in Dogs is Very Fixable with our DC Dog Training Programs!
Sibling Aggression Is Very Fixable with our DC Dog Training Programs!
There are very specific types of aggression, resulting from very specific triggers. One of these is sibling aggression. Sibling aggression aka sibling rivalry is aggression between two or more dogs living in the same household, whether they are from the same litter or not. This can occur at any age, and is often related to a dog’s instinct to dominate.
If you have two dogs having any of these issues, our aggressive dog training in Washington DC is exactly what you need!
Dog on Dog Aggression Needs to Be Fixed Right Away
Dogs are Pack Animals
Dogs are pack animals, which means they prefer clear rankings. Many dog owners don’t know that dogs need a leader, and they may themselves want to be that leader. This type of aggression isn’t always severe; it may involve some growling here, a nip or two there. No matter how mild, however, if the signs are there, the aggression needs to be addressed.
One of the most common ways an owner is bitten is by attempting to break up dog fights. We recently had a pet owner whose child was bitten accidentally because two dogs were fighting over treats, and the child just happened to be nearby.
This is a problem that can go from bad to worse too quickly and too easily, so the sooner a training program is established, the better.
All dogs can be trained when you use a training program that has been successful for over 35 years!
How Do we Fix the Same Household Aggressive Behavior?
The way we keep siblings from showing aggression is by eliminating the need for a leader, and we do this by establishing you, the owner, as the leader. Through my in-home training program, we’ll work on focus training, basic obedience, developing a bond of trust and respect between you and confident dog and your more submissive dog, place training, and avoiding favoritism (whether intentional or unintentional). I will place you in a position of leadership and teach you how to effectively communicate with your dogs to ensure they’ll listen to you and not just to their own, oftentimes wayward, instincts.
Sibling Rivalry is Sibling Aggression
One you can feel confident and in control of difficult situations, sibling aggression will no longer be an issue. Your dogs will understand and respect the boundaries you set. Sibling rivalry is very correctable with our training programs!
Don’t let the way your dogs interact make your life harder. Monument Dog Training will address the canine aggression, no matter how severe it may be. We are able to successfully rehabilitate multiple dogs in a home when they are suffering from sibling aggressive behavior.
We work with one dog and the other dog to get to the underlying cause of why the aggressive behavior is occurring. We will make sure your one dog is getting along with the other dog even if they are from the same litter and showing too much assertive dog behavior issues.
