My brother's Yorkshire Terrier has bitten me three

all the talk about curing with kindness is rubbish. As
he refuses to get rid of it I want to, need to break

want it to turn ferocious. I want it to quiver in fear
every time it sees me. Let it hate as long as it
fears. I know this sounds cruel but you didn't have to
have four stitches in your leg.

That's the wrong approach. You need to kill the dog. A biting dog
should not be allowed to live. Maybe your brother will have better luck
with his next dog.

Hi There,
I am a Los Angeles based animal trainer with extensive experience in
working with and behavioraly rehabilitating aggressive dogs. It is
not uncommon for toy breeds to take on neurotic behaviors that can
manifest as aggression. I am happy to assist you in sorting out your
problem. Please email me directly and I am certain I can help you
sort out much of what is going on between you and your brother's dog.
I need A LOT more information about what is going on than what you
have written in your posting, as it does not cover what I need to know
ahead of time in order to properly evaluate where this aggression is
coming from and, from there, how to improve on your situation.

Also...I take it that you do not have a awful lot of experience with
dogs at this point. You'll note the rather aggressive response your
posting received. This is because dog's really are well suited to
become family members. Beating a 5 pound is not how one would
integrate it into the family structure not would it resolve it's
aggression. Yes, it would scare the **** out of the dog but really
there are about 50 better ways you ought to proceed. Real men don't
beat toy breeds...real men sort out the problem. I am offering you my
services free of charge. Please take advantage of this and let's make
you and your brother's dog all the happier for having done so.

With kind regards,
kirstin

well.... how does an adult dog deal with a noisome puppy?

Dogs are very sociable characters with a strict pecking order (do dogs
actually peck, I hear you ask?). Dog is probably trying to put you back in
your place because you have given it reason to suppose it is of higher
status than you are. If there's eating going on for example, make sure you
eat first and dog eats later. I certainly wouldn't placate (reward)
unpleasant behaviour. Dogs don't mind being at the bottom of the status
pyramid, what upsets them is others getting out of line.

As for the immediate problem, when it next being nasty roll it over onto his
back, quite forcefully, as though you mean it, and hold it there, show
you're stronger than it is and that you mean to have your own way. That puts
him in a submissive position which will transfer to attitude. Then have a
good snarl, bare your teeth and go to bite his throat. I don't recommend
actually biting as this can result in a mouthful of nasty hair, but expect
him to squeal or display some other form of gesture of submission. That's
what adult dogs do, go for the throat and accept the submission signal.

Once should be enough, but repeat if necessary

cheers

sorry, I should have explained, it's not fear you want to instill but status
you need to establish.

You should not own a dog. Give it to a rescue and buy yourself a stuffed animal.

A dog will usually bite out of fear. Are you nervous around dogs?
Your best bet it to ignore it (i.e. don't try to be its friend in any
way) or move in with your brother so the dog will become used to you.

We both live at home with our parents. I'm not the least bit nervous
or dogs, we had one before, but this one is just evil. I've tried
everything but it obviously hates me for some reason although it has
bitten my Mum at least once. I need some positive advice. I don't
particularly want to inflict pain on it but it must learn who is
mistress, so when all else fails...- Hide quoted text -

The easy way to teach a dog whos in charge is to begin rubbing the
dog, then gently put hand behind its neck and push it onto the floor
keeping your hand on its neck gently but firmly hold it down on the
floor and say down keep it positioned on the floor with its belly
facing up while holding its neck. Then begin to rub its paws, slowly
let go of its neck while saying DOWN if it tries to get up put your
hand back on its neck by the throat without pushing on the throat.
Continue to say DOWN firmly and repeatly rub its paws. In the future,
when you want to show dominance tell it to GET DOWN and expect it to
roll over on its back, if it doesnt. repeat holding it down gently by
the neck on the floor untill it gives in. Always give praise when it
obeys. The belly up shows its being submissive to you. give lots
of love and yourl be rewarded.

And one wonders why dogs are getting more aggressive in society.
People with this attitude about dog training...
I won't despair just yet.
