1. My life is likely to last 10-15 years.  Any separation from you is likely to be painful.

2. Give me time to understand what you want of me.

3. Place your trust in me.  It is crucial for my well-being.

4. Don’t be angry with me for long and don’t lock me up as punishment.  You have your work, your friends, your entertainment, but I have only you.  

5. Talk to me.  Even if I don’t understand your words, I do understand your voice when speaking to me.

6.. Be aware that however you treat me, I will never forget it.

7. Before you hit me, before you strike me, remember that I could hurt you, and yet I choose not to bite you.

8.  Before you scold me for being lazy or uncooperative, ask yourself if something might be bothering me.  Perhaps I’m not getting the right food, I have been in the sun too long, or my heart might be getting old and weak.

9. Please take care of me when I grow old  You too, will grow old.

10. On the ultimate difficult journey, go with me please.  Never say you can’t bear to watch. Don’t make me face this alone.  Everything is easier for me if you are there, because I love you so.

~ take a moment today to thank God for your pets.  Enjoy and take good care of them. 

~ Life would be a much duller, less joyful experience without God’s critters.~

You can stop your aggressive dog behavior and have your dog following your every command. However the first thing you have to do is retake dominance of the household. The only reason that your dog begins to show aggressive behavior towards their owners is because they have claimed dominance of the household and it is up to you to show them that you are the leader of the household.

There are several ways to do this and I will explain some of the ways that you can begin doing this.

1. Begin Young: It is important to start disciplining your pet when they are young; chances are if you let them get away with this type of behavior while they are small then it will escalate as they become older.

2. Make Them Wait: Never let them crowd you when you are trying to do something like give them food. Many dominant dogs will become very dominant when it comes to dealing with food.

I used to deal with growling all the time when I was trying to feed my dog. He would sit there and growl the entire time as I poured his food. However today he will sit patiently; (well maybe not so patiently) but he will wait for my command before he even tries to eat.

3. Obedience Classes: When I first started having problems I was against taking him to obedience classes because I did not believe that someone could help me solve the issues I was having. However I was wrong you have to be open to trying new methods of taking care of your family pet.

Never let them see that you are scared of them and if you are scared of your own pet; then you may want to consider getting a different one. Dogs who know that their owner fears them can cause serious and harmful damage.
