    About this ebook

    As a dog owner, you have great responsibilities. You are not only responsible for the care of the dog and for the health of the dog, but you are responsible for your dog's actions as well.

    The dog is your pet and therefore your responsibility. If you have a dog that bites somebody, then you are responsible. That responsibility can be scary if you have a dog that is aggressive; you love your dog and do not want to give up the dog, but the responsibility that comes with an aggressive dog is very high.

    Many of these dogs end up in shelters if the owner cannot control their behavior. Formal dog training is expensive, not all dog owners can afford that.

    This book will help you with your aggressive dog, to help you understand why your dog is aggressive and how to cure it. Our methods are effective and focus on positive reinforcement to help you, and your dog.

      Introduction

      Worst-case scenario for dog owners is that your dog will harm another dog or harm a person.  Even a normally calm dog can be aggressive if they feel afraid or threatened. 

      As a dog owner, you are responsible for all that your dog does, you will be responsible for taking care of the consequences of his actions if he causes harm. 

      Sometimes, if your dog is normally calm dog, the beginning signs of aggressiveness are ignored. 

      The owner might think it is just a fluke or that it will not happen again. 

      Any sign of aggressive behavior is a cause of concern and should be addressed immediately. 

      If you ignore the first sign of aggressive behavior, it can only continue to get worse, until either it is out of control, or somebody gets hurt.
