@leaderofthepacklv: What I love about dog training is adjusting my approach based on the individual dog, owner, and situation. ➡️ For the Shepherd – I’d start with trade and positive reinforcement to lower defenses and build trust (“good things happen when I approach, reach, touch, take”). If needed, I’d use corrections to set clear boundaries (“don’t do that”). ➡️ For the Terrier – I’d start with meaningful corrections to stop the aggressive response (“NEVER do that again”). Once they show self-control, I’d introduce rewards to teach that “good things happen when I approach, reach, touch, take.” 🔎 Key factors I assess with aggressive dogs: * How quickly they choose aggression * Purpose behind the aggression * Intensity based on the situation * How they interact with family members * Overall personality and disposition * Who they target and why * Daily routines and lifestyle Those are just a few off the top of my head 🧠 🚨 Blanket training methods don’t work for aggression 👇🏽 ✨Positive reinforcement only with the terrier would teach “give me something or else,” and never set a clear boundary. 🗯️While punishment only with the shepherd could make them more defensive and never help them drop defensiveness. You picking up what I’m putting down? 🧐 Lmk in the comments 🗣️ #dogbehavior #dogpsychology #dogaggression #DogTraining #packleader
