This is a question from a reader of the site.
My pug is 1 years old. He bites almost everything, like pillows, slippers, and when I slightly bump his mouth he gets aggressive and wants to bite my hand. What should I do?? Please help me.

Danielle Ream- South CarolinaTy, I just had to write to tell you THANK YOU! We adopted a roughly three year old female rottweiler about two years ago and have loved having her. She is, however, 100 plus pounds of dog! While we had worked on basic commands, she would not follow them if distractions were present. Thus, they weren’t much good. We’re on week three of using your training videos and the ecollar. It has been wonderful. I only regret that we did not know about or look into this earlier. She walks at a heel, sits, a…
I have tried quite a few programs/trainers in the past and I have be honest in admitting that yours is by far the best I have ever seen. Now for the first time, I believe that I stand a good chance in solving my dogs aggression issue. I am now focusing on the obedience which I ignored and failed to understand how important it to get started and do it the way you have suggested. Yours is more realistic and not theoretical like others. Most miss the structure and way to solve problems. I have a…Suresh Subbiah- Connecticut
Your videos are worth every penny… A true investment to training your dog!!!Rick- TheBarkingZone.com
I must say that your videos have helped me enormously. Charlie was hugely leash aggressive but he is now around 98% improved after only a week of me implementing your training methods! Thanks so much,Jenny in MelbourneAustralia
You will NOT go wrong with Ty as your dog trainer. You’ll only go wrong if you don’t have him help you with your dog. Ty is amazing and knows his stuff! Thanks TyKelly R.
Ty, I just wanted to say thanks for the training for Boo. He has just been awesome. He is so much calmer and we have been practicing the things on the list and he is doing great. I thought he was good on a leash when we went walking, but he is tons better now. I love it. I will definitely recommend you to anyone who is having pet issues. Thanks again!Sonya & Boo
I can’t tell you how much you have made my life a lot more enjoyable as well as my dogs. You truly are a Dog’s best friend. Thank you again.Lori Yates
People are asking us all the time what we have done to get her to obey so well. Well, we have to say all the glory goes to Ty! Thanks Ty I was at my wits ends and ready to give her away and now she is the dog we hoped for! Thank you for turning our terrorist dog into a great family dog- now only if you took teenagers for 3 weeks!!! Thanks!The Wallace Family
Ty with DogBehavionOnline.com, helped me so much with the entire doggy process. He helped me along every step of the way, beginning with the breed of dog, to finding a reputable breeder, then finally training our newest family member. Thanks to Ty we don’t just have a dog, we have a great addition to our family.The Collard Family
Hi Ty, Just wanted to check in and let you know that Sierra is doing REALLY well. I am so happy with her and she is so much better behaved. It is nice to be able to sit on my front porch and have her out there with me enjoying things. She is great on trail and responds well. Overall I am so very pleased with the changes your help brought about in her behavior. Take good care and thanks again.Kathy - Happy Dog Owner

Hi Ty, thank you very much for the video snippets. Currently in the beginning stges of training a puppy (huge russian terrier pup=30kgs). Getting good results on the sit, stay and down commands and have also started with the recall command.
My priority at this stage is whilst walking the dog, she gets distracted by dogs barking along the walking route. Although these dogs are behind fences, she will get so excited and rushes towards them.(wanting to play???) To me this is a problem as she is a strong pup. Pre empting the houses where I know dogs are, I have started the recall method, by going into a slow run and calling her- which works. This is not always possible, and I am worried she may break away. Can you suggest how to address this

What is the age of the pup? Are you using any sort of training collar?
Hi there,
I have a 5 month pug. She is gorgeous and friendly and loves people and other dogs. She is really sociable. However, when I’m home alone with her she is a nightmare. She bites and barks and runs around. She does get 3 walks a day. She jumps on the couch, tries to eat out of my hand, she chews my shoes, clothes and everything else she can find. She has loads of toys and we give her loads of attention. It’s tiring! When I have friends over she goes beserk and jumps on them and chews their shoes and clothes. Having friends over has become really difficult. Also, when I open out apartment door, she runs out and refuses to come back in.
I know she is teething but she is behaving badly. I used to growl at her and now give her a small smack but nothing changes her behavior. Please help!!
Thanks!
Something to remember; growling isn’t training and smacking isn’t training.
Consider what it would be like if your sources of communication from a boss, co-worker, friend, etc. simply consisted of a display of anger when they were doing something you didn’t like. If that was all that was being provided you would be incredibly confused.
Training is about setting paramaters about what is okay and what is not. Keep a leash on your dog in the house so that she can’t run out the door. Keep a leash on her so that you can use a leash correction when she bites you. Keep a leash on her so that you can teach her the skills of how to be calm such as staying when told, going to a bed to relax, etc. It’s time for you to start teaching rather than just getting upset about behavior you don’t like.
I have a 4 yr. old Chug that is a rescue dog. He is very lovable, but very aggressive towards my lab. Also it’s like he has springs for legs. Needless to say, my doors & trim are terribly scratched. Any ideas how I can get him to stop jumping & scratching?
The first thing you need to ask yourself is ‘what have you done to stop the jumping’? How have you been correcting the jumping when it happens?
