How to be the Alpha Dog & Master Aggressive Dogs

On some occasions the aggressiveness of your dog is due to that he thinks you are weak at because they need to be protagonist. If you fondle him too much or if you tend to give him all he desires. He may think that he is the master and not you. And he will show himself aggressive to put you on line. It doesn't matter if he is an obstinate German shepherd or an aggressive poodle. The essential thing is to show him who's the boss in the family. This means you have to do what it seems fit to do and not what your dog wants. Make him sit before letting him go outside. Give him treats only after obeying your orders. The idea is for him to understand that he must work for you and not the other way around.
