First, the method of training free-range dogs not to bite
Some dogs are naturally aggressive, such as Terrier, Mastiff and Doberman. In fact, this kind of dog can still be a cheerful and friendly companion dog if it has received good behavior training. Dogs with friendly nature, such as German Shepherd and Great Dane, can also become very dangerous if their owners are too indulgent and lack discipline.
The owner should let the dog have more contact with strangers when it is safe outdoors and let strangers feed him. If the dog barks loudly and shows his teeth, stop it in time. You can jerk the belt, yell at it, or spray it with water. Don't hit it, or the dog will lose trust in its owner. When it stops barking, encourage it with praise, caress and snacks in time. During the training, the collar should be tightened under the dog's ears, so that the dog will feel bound.
It is necessary to strengthen the obedient training of dogs, such as sitting, lying, standing, shaking hands, lying, accompanying, calling back and waiting. This kind of training should be carried out every day, not for too long, lest the dog feel irritable. Passwords should be simple, clear and strict. This can cultivate the patience and stability of dogs.
If the dog shows no obvious hostility outdoors. Try training at home. At home, dogs should be provided with a separate and quiet place, which can be a kennel or a dog bed, preferably in the living room, so that dogs can see their owners at any time. Let the dog stay in its own nest when inviting guests. If it barks, stop it and encourage it when it is quiet. Or give it toys or dog gum to distract it.
In fact, the best way is to hand over the dog to a professional pet behavior training center. In just a few months, you can get a good social, obedient and cheerful pet dog. Before training, you must explain the dog's personality and habits to the coach, and they will make a training plan according to the situation. After the training, it is important for the owner to strictly restrain the dog's behavior and stick to daily training to avoid the recurrence of the old disease. Second, the method to prevent dogs from biting.
1. Suggest killing or taking in.
Preventing stray dogs from hurting people, killing or sheltering stray dogs is the most effective method at present. For areas with high incidence of rabies, it is best to kill all stray dogs entering the community to prevent people from being infected with rabies virus. If there is no history of rabies epidemic and outbreak in the local area, scattered dogs can be taken in if conditions permit.
2. Avoid feeding dogs in the living area.
Feeding stray dogs in residential areas should be avoided. Residents who keep stray dogs in the community should be advised to give up their breeding behavior or raise them in no man's land.
Don't dump the leftovers into the trash can.
Many stray dogs come to the community because there are a lot of abandoned food sources such as leftovers in the garbage dump and trash can in the community. Therefore, in order to reduce stray dogs entering the community, try not to throw leftovers and other food into the garbage dump or trash can in the community.
4. Educate children not to tease dogs.
In the incident of stray dogs injuring people, a large part of the injured were children. Some children are not sensible and think that stray dogs are the same as pet dogs at home. Just touching or even provoking Doby can easily irritate them and hurt people. So be sure to educate children not to tease dogs.
5. Don't blindly use tools to drive away stray dogs.
Some people yell at stray dogs when they see them moving in the community, or drive them away with tools. Some stray dogs are easily angered after being reprimanded. If the reprimanded person is unarmed, it is easy to be injured by stray dogs. So, don't scold the dog blindly. In addition, some stray dogs hold grudges. Once you drive them away with tools this time, the next time they find that you have no tools, they are likely to attack and retaliate. Therefore, unless it is killing, don't blindly use tools to drive away stray dogs.
6. Don't shine a flashlight in the dog's eyes.
Don't use flashlights and other bright lights to illuminate dogs' eyes at night, which will easily lead to the hostility of stray dogs and lead them to attack people actively.
7. Don't make eye contact with stray dogs.
Stray dogs will regard eye contact as hostility and provocation, which is likely to arouse stray dogs to attack people.
8. Don't panic and run away.
When people and dogs confront each other, don't panic, don't shout, stay calm, stand firm and don't run. Otherwise, stray dogs can sense your fear and attack you immediately. Don't move your hands and feet, or the stray dog will mistakenly think that you are going to attack it, and it will fight back immediately.
If your dog has to be kept free-range and has a history of biting, the effect after training is not very satisfactory. It is recommended to buy a strong muzzle for the dog, so that the dog will not bite.
