How to Socialise my dog with people? Can't Post

Hi hi....I have a mixed terrier breed (guess it's JR mixed) which I got it from a friends when she was 4/5 months old. The first time when I see her, she show friendliness to me and I got her in the car and travel from Klang back to Cheras. Initially she has a habit bitting people hands when play. She was kept in the house when the family members are around and stay in the cage when we are out for work. I enrolled her for OB class and she can do all the command well (ie sit, down, heel, stay....) Smile but one thing which worries me is that she keeps growling on people & ready to snap when some1 wants to touch her. Unsure She does not seem as friendly as she did compare with the first time I took her home. Frown Any idea how should I socialise my dog with people? Is it because I am too fierce to her when I do my toilet training when she is young? Unsure

dog being fierce to stranger should had nothing in association wit ur training at home...

ur dog is juz being too sensitive n do not trust strangers at all...this must made her a good watchdog @ home..

ofcoz, u need to socialize ur dog more often, get strangers to hand her some tasty treats or toss a ball, n initially strangers should avoid petting d dogs head....this will usually scare them off n they will attempt to snap...

made her gain d trust that strangers means no harm n in fact, bring joy....

Thanks Amanda. But near my area, there's few cases of robbery and snatch theft. I just feel like it's not too good/safe if let the stranger to give her food in order to get close to her. Am afraid that she will get poisoned. The trainer has tried to give food to get close to her but she was too stress so not even eating the snack given by him. Also I have a problem to use food to reward her especially during our OB class. She is too stressed and not even want to drink any water after the class. She will only drink lots of water when she reach home. Is she feeling not secure outside home compound? why is she acting like that?

is normal for a dog tat feeling stressed out....i too used to had a dog tat act tat way....she got so stressed tat she doesn't eat, drink or even poo when she's at d training ground...

what i meant stranger is actually ur friend, not random stranger off d street....our dog should had a good capability in recognizing diff ppl...eventhough my dog love my friends n eat up all d treats that was handed to her, but she still bark like mad when there's a stranger pass by our gate....

is d training ground d onli place tat u bring your dog out?? coz putting ur dog onleash, being around wit so many unfamiliar dogs n @ d same time need to follow command can create a very stress out situation for a dog tat aren't well socialize... (and at d same time, mayb u keep scolding her 'NO!')

u should really bring ur dog to join our jungle trekking session, as that's a place of nature that all dogs love n she can had a fun time playing freely n get friendly wit others.....

after ur dog is well socialize n can get along well wit other dogs in a environment where she is actually happy, then she'll feel more comfortable @ d training ground...

Thanks Amanda! Will bring my dog for the JT next week! Hopefully she can finish the whole trek and not to be too aggressive on other dog. When I look at ur avarta, I remembered I saw your dog in the Dog event in BU this Jan 07. She can really perform well in the Agility test huh! I'm so impress. How long does it take for u to train her? Do you have a MSN acc which I can add u in?

You should spend more time with your doggie. They like to socialize with doggie/people. If you're too fierce to her before, she will forget it when she's older.

My dog however, Laugh he very shy... He dont dare to greet other people.. He hide somewhere else one. If he's with me then he's hyper active lo x3

Hi Sydney,

Thanks for the advise. ya, I try to spend more time with my dog everyday now. During weekends, we will go to Jungle Trekking and Agility training. She needs time to warm up and very sensitive to strange sound/noise/ppl.... Unsure

Mayb u can bring ur along to socialise with other dogs too? I think a shy dog is better than a aggressive dog rit?? Wink

Hi,

My dog still quite aggressive towards strangers. What I can do now is to bring her out more frequent especially to the training ground. Glad that I have dog lovers friends who willing to approach her, give her food and try to be friend with her even she sometime might snap them even she have met them before. I think it takes time to develop her security towards ppl & I never give up on her Wink
