How To Make A Guard Dog Like You?
What kind of dog is she? Well, if she is a guard dog, she definitely won't be as close to strangers than she is to her owner. If you come visit often then over time she will get use and warm up to you, but may not necessary like-like you, but hey it's better than being attacked right? Whenever you see her, don't run away, approach slowly with cautious. If she barks at you, it's a warning and it's better if you stay away. Don't show her that you fear her, stay calm but don't make eye contact (in the doggy world it means you want to challenge her) instead, reach out your hand and let her sniff you, if she doesn't growl or show any unwelcoming expression, then you may pet her. Make sure your friend is always with you when you pet her. Stroke her lightly on the back. If she knows how to shake, ask her for a shake. If you feed her then she might get use to you as in whenever you come she will get food (that's a good sign!) (: Did you mention that she goes crazy sometimes? It's best to just avoid her at times like this. You never know what a dog might do. Always ask to pet her first. A guard dog isn't fond of people patting her head. I hope I helped and good luck! (:
How do I get my dog to love me?
I agree with Bee Tree on this. I didn't get a dog until I was an adult and didn't have a clue how to make a relationship with one. It took a while for my first dog and I to understand each other and it was due to her illness (epilepsy) that I learned she needed me. After that, we both worked at being friends with each other. She died young, unfortunately, due to epileptic seizures. My second dog, Roxanne, was my heart dog, we were meant for each other and I love her still. I took her to puppy classes and we worked at home while she was a puppy. I found talking to her and keeping her attention worked well, rewarding her when she responded to what I asked her to do, and we had lots and lots of fun together. I know I was exceptionally lucky with her. I would come home from work, go upstairs to change, and she would follow me. I would start singing at her, silly different songs, and put her name in somewhere, and she would jump up on the bed and start dancing around and barking almost with my singing. When she passed away (she was just over 12 years old), I knew I would never have another dog as precious and understanding, but I adopted Gabe from the Pound at 4 years of age - and he and I started understanding each other almost immediately. A year later I adopted Gingersnap at 3 months - she had been neglected and possibly abused and is still timid, but she is SO SMART and the pair of them are just a joy to have living with me.My suggestion is please don't give up on your dog. Try to interact with him, spend time with him and let him know he's part of your family; make his life fun, find some toys he likes to play with, play games with him or take him to some form of training, even just for the bonding of it, and I think before too long you'll have a happy dog waiting for you when you get home every night. Some stuff may seem like work at the time, but for me it has paid off big time. Good luck!
How do you make your dog love you?
There's no way you can MAKE your dog love you. Dogs usually bond the closest with the person who feeds, walks, grooms, trains and plays with them the most. If you feel your dog only loves your mom, why not try taking over more of her care. Brush her. Take her for a walk. Play ball with her. Feed her. Sit and play with her and her toys. Try doing some training with her - I know dogs feel very close to the person who spends the most time training them. Teach her something.
How do you know if your dog loves you ?
One of the reasons I think dogs are so beautiful is that, unlike humans, they are incapable of deception. You know what I mean? Like how they wander around the house looking soooo guilty when they have done something naughty, so that you go looking for whatever they have broken / chewed up / got mud all over. The same with love - when a dog loves you, it is easy to tell - because he can't possibly hide it. It wouldn't even occur to him to try to hide it. You can see the love in the way he walks at your heels even when you leave the room for a moment, the way his tail wags like it will fly off whenever he sees you, the way he sighs happily as he snuggles into you. One of my favourite quotes about dogs: "Dogs love their friends and bite their enemies, quite unlike people, who are incapable of pure love and always have to mix love and hate in their object-relations” Sigmund Freud That sums it up, I think. A dog's love is faithful, pure and written all over his face.
How do i make my dog love me again?
OK well i have a good dog he is a Chihuahua 3 months but sometimes he gets a little out of hand, i know that they are puppies and we should cut them some slack but not to much where they are just getting into everything and not obeying you. and this morning he got way out of hand he wasnt listening to me and wasnt letting my other dog eat he kept barking at her and jumping everywhere. I said no and tried things to calm him down or played with his toys but he was just to hyper and being bad to i kinda hit him and he cried a lil, so maybe i hit him too hard and now he hates me. I didn't mean to hit him sooo hard i swear on my life and i didnt want to do it but he was jus getting out of hand and not obeying and now i feel as tho he is scared of me and sometimes when i get near him he runs away or something. SO how can i make it up to him and let him know that i am not danger i love my dogs to death and i don't want any of them to feel as though i am a mean abusing person because im not. So how do i get him to love me again and be with me again like he used to please help my dogs mean everything to me! thank you
How do you get most dogs to like you when you first meet them?
Depends on the dog and situation. There is no one size fits all technique to this.First off don’t be rambunctious. Don’t try to engage the dog in roughhouse play even if you just saw them roughhousing with their owner.Be willing to bribe the dog with high value treats. That doesn’t always work however. I used to have a dog named “Moose” who would take a treat from someone very gently and then spit it out on the ground and growl at them like “how dare you? You think you can buy me off?”Other dogs are really easy. Case in point I walked in on a class at a dog club I belong to. I wasn’t there for any reason having to do with the class but had to use the bathroom.A friend of mine’s dog was barking fiercely at me like I was an axe murderer and I just ignored him. Went about my business and was about to walk out the door and got greeted by the same dog/handler team where the dog was barking at me. She let go of the leash and he stood there a minute bewildered “OH CRAP! You mean I have to deal with him on my own?”I looked at him and doing my best Joe Pesci imitation “you barking at me?”The instructor got annoyed with me and barked “Ignore the dog” not knowing what was going on behind her.The dog ran up me, jumped up and started performing “appeasement licks” on my chin. “Please don’t be mad at me!”So like I said at the beginning of this answer it all depends and one size does not fit all.
How do I get a dog to stop hating me?
Food or play.Dogs are motivated by play or by food. If the dog actually hates you and has reason to hate you or he is traumatized. It will take months if ever for them to adjust.My sister had a rescue lab/pit that lets me pet him and cuddle him. That was not the case. I couldn’t walk out of my room at night with out him barking and growling at me. He just needed a year or so to adjust and realize he is safe and that I am a benign but loud human.I had a beagle/chihuahua rescue that would bite till his gums bled when people touched his food. Nothing we nor any trainer could do would get him to mellow and be kind. Granted we never tried aggresive (shock collar) or “Cesar Millan” (dominance) methods. This dog snapped at people that touched his food till the day he died.I digress. If the dog barks at you whenever you get close then throw a small piece of chicken in front of them. Do this till he associates you with food and is calm or calmish. Then start to sit down and look at the dogs paws. When you do this don’t sit rod straight or lean forward it will be intimidating to the dog. If this doesn’t work and the dog is not aggresive lie down on the ground. Only do this if the dog is non-aggresive. Once you assume either position, toss chicken around you. Eventually inch the chicken closer and closer followed by holding out to the dog with an outstretched palm.If the dog proves to be adjusting to you pet them on the flank or under the chin.Be careful as this process takes time.If you use play it is much simpler. Get the preferred toy of the dog and then toss it away from you. If the dog is just cautious of your presence and is play driven they might get the toy but they will do it slowly. Just keep trying the toy without paying too much attention to the antics of the dog as long as it is not aggressive IE: trying to bite you.My current dog, Roxy, is a very dominant girl and dislikes strangers but loves people, especially people that can throw a tennis ball. She barks up a storm and gets excited when people walk in to our house. We in response give our guests tennis balls to throw in order to distract her. After a few throws she calms down enough to smell them. After the 15th throw she is putty in their hands.
HOW DO YOU GET A DOG TO SNAP OUT OF ATTACK MODE?
my dog is really wonderful to me but when he hates someone he means it, and gets so rilled up he only focuses on that person or dog, and stares it down and barks and grawls franticly so i put my hand over his mouth and sometimes hes so gone he bites me in the process, not that hes biting me intentionally cause hes still staring the object down but like i get in the way and he does it without thinking. i dont mind too much cause hes a small doggie and it doesnt hurt, but what other ways can you get a dog to like snap out of it?
