HOW TO STOP GROWLING AT GUESTS

I get tonsss of messages from people asking how to stop their dog from growling, barking or lunging at people who come into their home.

It can be pretty embarrassing to have your dog low key ferociously barking/lunging at every person who walks through the front door... so let’s talk about some solutions!

The best way to work through your dog barking/lunging at other dogs or people inside (or outside) of your home is by preventing it altogether.

"Wtf does that mean Kaelin??"

Well, when you're in a situation where you think your dog may react or bite (or has already reacted/barked, growled, lunged), distance your dog far enough away from the trigger object (person, dog, cat, squirrel, etc)

Do this so that you can grasp your dog's full focus (using treats, a toy or just praise so that your dog associates the situation with positivity!!)

If your dog's focus is wandering back to the trigger object, redirect your dog’s attention back to you and make him "work" (sit, lay down, touch, etc)

Basically, no matter if the reacting (barking) is just out of excitement, fear, or confusion/aggression, the key is to get your dog to calm down and focus on you before he goes up to anyone.

Patience is crucial here! Remember that we're changing your dog's natural instincts and what he's been doing his whole life. It would be unrealistic to expect this to be resolved in a few days or weeks.

Again, this process takes time and lots of hard work!!! You only get 100% results if you put in 100% of the work..

Most people aren't willing to do what it takes to get the results they want with their dogs, especially behavioral issues.

Be part of the 5% who puts in the difficult work now and you’ll be rewarded with an obedient dog for life 🙌

You seem to be the only trainer that brings up the problem of the puppy leaving the mother too soon! I learned about it when it was to late to correct.

My dog isn't food aggressive or anything like that but she gets scared of guests and growls

[raquelr]

My dog barks at people when we go out and my anxiety levels go up, and I can guarantee my dog senses it.

i dunno whenever Guest comes over, my dog growls at my dad when he visits my grandparents house like fr, idk the doggy school messed my dog up since my grandparents put the dog in doggy school sadly.. it’s just aggressive to her, i feel bad for my dog, Lexi. ):

Edit:
PSA: My dog, Lexi lives over my grandparents house i play with my dog, Lexi. She always follows me around 24/7. whenever me and my grandparents leaves the house, Lexi tries to leave WITH me! i remember that one time, Lexi didn’t like the shock collar or the prong collar.. /: so i took it off and my grandmother got VERY TRIGGERED! Like if a dog doesn’t like it, she doesn’t like it, respect it. if you respect the dog, the dog will respect you so period. it’s like forcing a child eat something that they don’t like and you’ll get bad karma to make a other creature suffer which is a bad thing. especially when my grandfather said take a black plastic thing outside so i did, Lexi tried to leave the house with me but when my step- grandfather said “Lexi, get in the house” Lexi didn’t listen, i remember looking back at, Lexi, making a sad face while looking at me and wagging her tail. that’s when i saw my STEP-GRANDFATHER HIT MY DOG, LEXI CUZ SHE DOESN’T WANT TO GET BACK IN THE HOUSE. i was like “isn’t that animal abuse” there..? ;-; like fr, my bf says that Lexi is actually my dog since Lexi listens to me, follows me around, sleeps with me in my room at my grandparent’s house! i take her on walks and i play with her a lot! i know why, Lexi isn’t listening to my grandparents cuz the shock collar, prong collar (prong collar messes up with their fur patterns & waves), yelling at her (dogs don’t like loud noises), hitting Lexi the dog, yanking on her collar, stressing her out by using doggy school, the dog will listen to the dog trainer so the dog won’t listen to the owner, (a BIG sigh that you shouldn’t have that poor dog, you should’ve done research) i didn’t trust that doggy school sadly! Lexi will camp around me too if me and her were chilling in the 2nd living room, if i fell asleep on the couch. Lexi will just stay near me to make sure i’m okay.. i heard that by my family that my GRANDPARENTS doesn’t like it when, Lexi listens to me and likes me more than them! My grandmother thought Doggy School will work out on Lexi so she can listen to my grandmother but nope it didn’t work out on, Lexi. She still listens to me, follows me around 24/7, likes me more, tries to leave the house with me, ect. (Aka. More) Plus i already know that i’m not alone with this or anything tho..
Go watch the movie called, “ Rescued By Ruby “ on Netflix to get a better understanding of it! if you want, um thanks for reading my comment if you reached this far tho! anyways tho i hope you have a nice day, evening or night whatever time it is for you! Adios.. (: <3 ～

My family went into the mall and two people tried to pet her and she growled

[JK-vyvh]

My dog seems to only growl at people if i pay attention to them the problem is that you can't ignore ppl on walks all the time and the second I acknowledge someone on a walk she's acts like a turd.
