Tip 5 - Aggressive
dog - How to deal with aggressive dogs (By Bruno's mom)
There is a training
technique that was taught to me by a fellow pit bull owner, and
it works wonders.
As
you probably know, usually a Pit Bull's #1 problem is dog aggression
because historically they were bred for dog fighting.
It's called " Bar Open" "Bar Closed" when you are walking
your dog, and you see (and your dog sees another dog) feed treats over and
over again (aka Bar Open) until the dog is out of site.
Once the dog is out
of site, stop feeding treats (AKA bar Closed). Your dog will
start to associate that every time a new dog is around it's a
VERY positive thing.
I'm sure if it can work on rescued pit bulls who were abused by their past
owners by putting them in dog fights, then it can work on a Dalmatian.
Good luck!
