Default Restraining Problem


Can anyone give me ideas on how to get my 5 month old Aussie mix to do
better when he is restrained?? He is nasty when restrained, growls and
trys to bite. he's fine otherwise, very friendly and very playful.

Please help

Aimee

What does the instructor at your dog training class say? Do you not
practice such things in class? It should be a part of any normal pet
manners class. Sounds like you need to find a better quality instructor.

Tieing some dogs makes them aggresive. Is there a reason you need to tie him
out? I would suggest getting a good fence and let him run the yard unless he
gets out. Some behaviors are because the dog needs an outlet.

I'm sorry, I should have explained better, I talking about when I have
to hold him still, like to give him a pill, or when he was at the vets
to be fixed, he had a FIT when they tryed to hold him down to give him a
shot. A few months ago, I wanted his hips checked, he had to be held
still for x-rays, he growled and tryed to bite them because he can't
stand to be held still.

ok sorry about that. =) Have you tried getting him to sit and lay first.
Being he is only 5 months old you still have time to train him to listen to
these commands. Once you get the basic commands down it should be easier to
handle him. The more you handle your pup the better he will get about being
handled. I have a friend that had a pup that would not let you trim her
nails. She would snap and bite every time. So I told her to handle her paws
everyday not just for trims. In two months she could handle her dogs feet
without a problem.

So see if you can get him to learn sit, lay and gently run your hands over
him and gently put hand pressure on him and see what areas set him off. He
could be getting over stimulated with all the noise and people during these
times and feels insecure. My old girl will lay anywhere I tell her too even
at the vets, for shaves and all that, but she's 9. Good luck and keep
working with him.
