Watch Cesar Milan, Dog Whisperer. He has GREAT training suggestions. It is joy to watch him. Here are some basic suggestions. Do not allow the behavior to escalate to barking, let alone biting. While dog is in the crate, she must achieve a calm, submissive state. When she is calm and submissive (relaxed, calm breathing, possibly laying down) you remove her from the crate and do not allow her to become agressive. Keep her in a calm submissive state by touching her face or shoulder and saying shh, over and over. You are correcting her and preventing the escalation of excitement/violence. Your correction has to equal her level of agression, so don't hesitate to raise your touch correction a notch if she does not respond appropriately. You MUST become the pack leader in your home. Your dog currently feels like she needs ot protect you and RULE the pack and this is not what you want. |
