A. i took my dog to petco, and i will tell you, they train you not the dog. yes you take the dog to classes with you and they help you but they teach you how to train your dog. In the basics class, we learned: Sit come stay down leave it heel I went to petsmart and was just look at their training pamphlet and it looked like they covered more. But still, they train you how to train your dog. They do give you good tips tho.

Aggressive dog behavior: what's your experience?
Q. I have an aggressive 7 month old German Shepherd. We are going to get him evaluated and he's going to take part in a "growly dog" training class. I'd just like to know if anyone else out there has had an aggressive dog that was trained for the better? Is there hope for my dog? It's going to take a lot of hard work, but I'd just like to hear other similar stories. He's an incredibly smart dog and I have faith that he will improve, but I guess I need some reassurance. Thank you. :)

A. You're right when you say it will take lots of hard work. We've had large dogs (especially rottweilers) in our family for years, but the only one that was aggressive was a stray that we found. Since we lived in the country and there weren't any dog training classes near us we relied on my mother, who raised and bred dogs for years, to train her. A few months later the dog no longer growled when someone went near it while it ate, it was able to be let out without attacking our goats or eating the cats, and it was a very pleasant dog. I think the only reason it even took a few months to change the dog's behavior is because the dog was about five when we found it, according to the farrier at least. (Farrier's usually specialize in horses and… [cont.]
