Stop Doberman Aggression, Or Human Aggression?

103 15
Doberman Pinscher is playful and active breed of dogs.
They are very loyal too and capable of learning obedience and complex commands.
Doberman are not aggressive by nature.
Their aggressiveness is made and not an innate characteristic of the dog.
This threatening behavior could be the result of provocation, past ill experience or even battery.
Therefore, if you want to stop Doberman aggression, you have to address the source of it.
You avoid provocation, prevent them from having ill experience or avoid physical harm when training your dogs.
One reason why Dobermans are aggressive is because they are provoked.
This means that there is a presented threat and you have not trained your dog to manage that threat.
Therefore an untrained Doberman will respond in a way what he thinks is right-through aggression.
If they see a stranger, your dog would bark, growl or lunge at the threat.
To prevent this we have to train our Doberman to socialize with other people, dogs and other animals.
Another reason why they become aggressive is because their past experience toward a phenomenon is unhealthy.
Example of this is when you bring your dog to the vet.
If they have an unpleasant visit, they would continue to associate vet to an unpleasant behavior and would cause ruckus every time you bring them there.
A different instance would be when you bring your dog to a new experience.
Like into a grooming salon for the first time.
You expect your dog to bark, move restlessly and bite.
It would take time before your dog to get accustomed to the clippers, and scissors.
Therefore, start taking your dog there while he is a puppy and his aggressive behavior such as barking and biting are less threatening than bringing a full grown Doberman.
The most common reason why Dobermans are aggressive and hostile is because of the way of training them.
Physical harm is never a healthy way of reward system.
Dobermans who are used to being harmed and punished become wary and hostile to people.
With little provocation, or even a slight gesture that would indicate hurting them, they would become aggressive to defend itself.
They bite, growl or bark.
That is why it is not recommended to use physical punishments in Doberman training.
There are other means of disciplining your dog and that is to focus more on the positive behavior and reinforce them.
When you see a sign of aggression, be it barking, growling, biting or snarling, make sure that you have identified the cause.
These are signs that your dog has a perceived threat.
Untrained Doberman would act on a perceived threat on its own.
Thus, to avoid hostility or damage, make sure that you have trained your dog how to react on different situations.
