You are going to be given the tools you need to help your little dog be nice and stay nice when it comes to their dinner.

Difficulty: Moderate
Instructions

Things You'll Need:

  • A pair of firm but loving hands
  1. Step 1

    Start in a position where your dog would normally become aggressive towards you. Whether that be with a treat, a toy, or their food bowl.

  2. Step 2

    Depending on how aggressive your dog is you can either put your hand or a gloved hand near their food or toy. At this point your dog will most likely bite at or just growl at your hand.

  3. Step 3

    When that happens, you have to take your little friend and role them over on their back with one hand

  4. Step 4

    With your other hand, gently place it below their neck. This shows them you are the boss.

  5. Step 5

    You are almost done, now you hold them there until they relax. When they do, release them.

  6. Step 6

    Ignore them, they will walk away, as they do in the wild when they are submitted. Soon after, they will come back over to you to "make up"

Tips & Warnings
  • In some circumstances they will come after you when you let them up, if they do. Start over.
