Dogs are undeniably adorable but there are also dogs that have tough temperaments, seemingly wild and very difficult. They tend to be dominant and overly aggressive. They may be poor in socialization, often being violent with other dogs and people, and may bark inappropriately and excessively. During extreme situations, they may get too assertive to the point that they attack other dogs and people, causing them pain. This dog behavior, when becomes too extreme, should be appropriately dealt with before it becomes a hazard and endanger the safety of other dogs and people.

Dogs with tough temperament may make life a little bit challenging. It can become really tiring constantly being watchful of the the dog, always alert of each of its move, in the efforts of avoiding hazards and problems. Living with these so called “difficult dogs” can unpredictable and sometimes even scary, not knowing what or when it will behave inappropriately aggressive and violent.

Worry not though, for having a dog with tough temperament is not much of a hopeless case. Dog temperaments are inborn and natural but they can still be modified and improved through consistent training and positive, enriched environment of the dogs. There are several different ways, strategies, and techniques to deal with dogs with tough temperaments.

1) Understand: Try to know what triggered the dog to be aggressive. If possible, pinpoint the root cause of the dog’s aggression. Does it seem like the dog is stress after strenuous activities? Was the dog provoked by another dog or by an unruly person? Was the dog threatened by an impending danger? Does the dog seem fearful and defensive? Does the dog seem like it means well and just wants to play around? Or does the dog do it out of nowhere? Knowing the cause/s of the dog’s aggression is the foundation of what to do next to address the dog’s tough temperament behavior problems. The cause may be anything, from the provoking environment to the genetic disposition of certain dog breeds. Several researchers and experts found that the most aggressive dog breeds include Pitbull, Rottweiler, German Shepherds, among others.

2) Train: Training a dog with a tough temperament to change its behavior and attitude may not be easy. It takes patience and consistency in training, which is why it is crucial to remain positive and hopeful in helping the dog improve. Every dog, even those with tough temperaments, have positive traits and it is important to also focus on the good traits. With this, the foundation for bringing out the good and the best in the dog is laid out and it may be easier to appreciate more and be more patient in training. Dogs should be trained consistently, as they pay more attention to patterns. Consistency plays a big part in the successful training of dogs, especially those with tough temperaments. Clear rules must be set and strictly followed; what is a yes is always a yes, and a no always a no. Regularly reward only behaviors that are desirable, and ignore those that should be extinguished. Inconsistent training is ineffective and sometimes lead to dogs having confusion and a more undesirable behavior.

3) Use technology/devices: Some responsible dog owners, despite their sincere and deepest desires to personally train their dogs, might not have enough time for it because of busy schedules. Fortunately, there are already available technology and devices in the market that would help make training easier, while without doubt, not compromising the safety and well-being of their dogs.
