Dealing With Dog Aggression Interview – Jeff Tinsley
If you have a dog who’s starting to show signs of aggression you’re going to love my most recent interview with Dog Training expert, Jeff Tinsley.
In this interview Jeff and I talk about how to handle dealing with dog’s who get aggressive when certain parts of their body are touched. This should be helpful for people who’s dog’s are showing signs of aggression when going in for Vet checkups where the Vet has to handle the dog.
Plus we also get into what causes different types of aggression and how to solve them.
All you have to do to is right click here to download the audio file to your computer, then just use your favorite mp3 player to listen in. It’s an hour long interview so it might take you a while to download… but be patient, it’s worth waiting for 
Enjoy!
Chet Womach
P.S. I’m really making it a priority to deliver some great free information for you, and I’d appreciate it if you’d leave your comments on what you got out of this interview in the comments section of this post… Thanks.

I would really like to see this about Dog Aggression but for some reason my computer will not open it up, it opens up a new page and says it is done, but there is nothing on the screen

This has brought up things I had not considered as allowing my dog to feel equal or privileged, as in sleeping in my bed! Thinking my Old English Sheepdog would not have an aggressive bone in his little 5 lb body at a too early 5 week take home, I have made many mistakes! I have loved him into an alpha dog at 1 year and 80 lb. Fixing is going to be much more difficult than prevention would have been.

Please e-mail me the lesson about “dog aggression”. I have got a Staffie of 6 months whom are showing aggression habbits towards humans. I can not download it to my computer. Thanks you – Dieter

The Deaf guy again. Is there a transcript for this? I can’t hear the the audio file.
Thanks, Clark

Hi, fyi…the download seems to have an “echo”…

I really enjoyed your interview with Jeff and found the information most useful particularly the part about not allowing your dog to be top dog within the people pack. My husband encourages our dog to get on the bed and greets the dog before everyone else and I can’t wait to share this information with him so that he understands this is not the best thing to do. I have always felt we can be good to the dog without making the dog into a people.
One thing I would of appreciated hearing is what to do when you encounter a dog that shows aggression towards your dog when you are out for a walk. We have a German Sheppard at the end of our street that is often loose and has shown aggression towards my dog. Luckily the owner has always been close by to grab his dog but I fear one day that will not be the case. My dog is very gentle and submissive with other dogs. People have told me to let the dogs work it out themselves but I am not comfortable letting my dog fend for itself this way. Can you make any suggestions?

Pssst. the link is not cooperating for me, Chet I think it needs link aggression training. will try latter.
best to you

If you want to know how to really tackle dog aggression look into DR Jesus Rosales-Ruiz and see how it’s really done. He is a PHD and a very respected in the dog training world.

Hello, I have 2 dogs, a 5 year old female and a 2 year old male. They both seem to be dominant, the female is alpha for sure and the male probably is alpha too and bigger in size. They are spayed and neutered. The male was born to the female. I made the mistake of not socializing them very well, especially the male since he is so strong that he dragged me around each time I took him out. About six months ago they started fighting each other, I hired a trainer, learned about the many mistakes I had made and corrected most of them but the problem still isn’t solved: they get along for a while and suddenly they fight again. I’ve had to keep them separated since then which is a big stress because I don’t have that much space. The main reason for this behavior seems to be jealousy and the need to dominate the other, first the female trying to dominate the male, now the other way around. I know I have to hire another trainer but can’t right at this moment. What can I do in the meantime? Thank you.

I have a Border Terrier. His name is opie and he has agression to other dogs he acts up, and he tries to get in a fight with them.
July 16th, 2008 at 8:08 am
I cannot download or listen to the interview and i really need it. My husband has convinced our dog she is his equal in everything. Please e-mail the transcript to me so i can read it. I’m sure it will be helpful as everything you send out is so helpful!
Sincerely,
Myrna

Good material we can use.
Introduction seems longer than necessary.
The entire recording is longer than need be. I believe it woul;d help if you were able to really condense the information and try to hold to a three minute maximum. I believe you could do this without deleting any of the important info.
July 16th, 2008 at 10:25 am
I have a 7 yr old beagle and a 10 mo old bassett hound…the basset is horrid about mouthing and jumping on people…my poor beagle is exasperated with him…I have an old computer and no sound…I cannot even watch this info…could you possibly put it in written form for those of us that don’t have updated puters? Thank you.

I really wanted to see the video i have two labs that started to show sign of aggresion but the computer wouldnt let me open it. If you could help me with the problem with my dogs it would be great
July 16th, 2008 at 12:45 pm
I appreciate the feedback guys…
I’ll start posting the transcripts of these calls instead, or possibly the highlights of the transcripts to try and scrape it down to the bare bone essentials of what’s being taught on these calls.
If you start trying any of this stuff and it works for you, feel free to share those in the comments as well!

It won’t download. THe link goes to website?, but says it is Done , but nothing is there. Blank sheet..
July 16th, 2008 at 5:57 pm
To Nancy: To download the linked video, right click on the blue highlighted link (if you regular left click it will open the video in a new tab or window, not save it to your computer). After you right click, select “save link as . . .” in the pull-down menu that appears. A window will pop up for you to select a destination on your computer to save the video to. Select a folder to save to and click “save” at the bottom of the window. Check your internet’s “downloads” section found under “tools” in the top-of-the-screen internet bar to view the download as it works and make sure it finishes properly. Then go to where you saved the file, open it up in a media player, and enjoy.

I was interested in the topic but stooped the playback 2 or so minutes into it due to boredom. A transcript would be better so those who want to research a specific aggression could do so without listening to everything.
Thanks, keep up the blog.
July 16th, 2008 at 7:39 pm
Excellent info that I will use straight away!
I think it will help my dog to be even better.
July 16th, 2008 at 9:01 pm
Glad You liked the interview Rita! Keep me posted on how it goes during the training
July 16th, 2008 at 11:26 pm
Overall I really liked this conversation – though it could possibly have used some editing.
I’m just wondering what is the evidence that “alpha dogs sleep together” and “lower ranking dogs sleep somewhere else” in a dog pack. What dog packs have been observed to determine this? If a pack of dogs has actually been observed, how has “dominance” been determined? Has anyone actually collected data comparing dogs’ sleeping areas vs. aggression issues?
My understanding of wolf packs is that they consist of an adult breeding pair and their subadult offspring, such that every wolf that survives to adulthood eventually becomes a breeder. Many of the wolf researchers seem to be thinking that the common understanding of wolf dominance hierarchies are not valid, and are certainly not valid in applications to pet dogs in a human household. I’d love to hear experts cite their sources for comments like these!

Thought the info was great! I have a Collie/Sheltie cross and he is great, chews stuff we like alot but always knows Im disapointed by me look I give him so thats so true about the look thing. Thanks alot Chet for thinking of me and Sampson! Camie

Facinating. We have usually had 2 dogs over the past 33 years. With my newest dog (now 10 months old) I have joined a Dog Club and been trained in ‘positive reinforcement’. I just love it. Together with all I am learning about ‘dog packs’ and being Alfa, we all benefit. This talk will really help with how to get my puppy to behave better with visiting children.Our other dog (an 8 year old Alsation) was ‘lovingly bomb proofed’ by a teenage foster child. With no children for most of the time WE will do some ‘bomb proofing’ and acknowledge occasional children MUCH MORE before the dogs.
I have just tried the ’simultanious treat giving’ to stop him mouthing me when I try to touch under his feet – THANKS FOR THAT. I have been avoiding them, instead of focusing in on the problem. I’m going to listen again and take notes, this has been an enlightening talk – Thank you.

Hi, We have a 5 month old Pyr, she loves people, kids and other dogs. We socilized her at the age of 7 weeks, or I should say people socilized her because she was a small fur ball then so she learned that they would pat her if and when she was sitting. The kids in the neighbourhood love her and it takes us at least 10 minutes to get going on our walk.The info in this interview was very interesting thanks, you can never get enough info about training your dog. We practice our manners every day and training never stops. We would like to someday have her as a dog that goes into nursing homes to see the eldery because we can see a difference when she is near small children and then if she is near older people it’s realy neat to see she knows how to behave so different at such an early age. Please keep the info coming…..you can never get enough…….thanks
July 17th, 2008 at 8:57 am
thanks but like some of the others I can’t get the audio or video please send a transcript. thank you
July 17th, 2008 at 4:12 pm
I would love to have this information but having trouble accessing it. is it possible to get a transcript? Thanks for loving dogs and helping us enjoy them. Pat
July 18th, 2008 at 11:32 am
Thanks Chet! This is great information. Those who turned off the recording due to boredom will probably be sorry. We have one 2 yr old lab, and one 1 yr old old german shepherd, both females. They love one another very much but sometimes get on each others nerves, and then fight. Thanks for making your recording more spread out rather that short and sweet, as some of us like to take in things slowly as to absorb the information and context.
July 18th, 2008 at 8:38 pm
Very informative session. I would appreciate information on object aggression.
July 20th, 2008 at 5:17 am
I need this information, l accessed it but the sound is very low . is it possible to get a transcript? .
Scondly l have 6 months asecian dog [MALE] that is very friendly, it keeps jumping on people, how do l stop the dog from this act?.
July 20th, 2008 at 9:04 am
its very help full but i need a small help ..
that is …. i hav 2 dogs they r confuged in there names they r not responding when i call them
July 21st, 2008 at 9:05 am
Would love to have this info. I have a bichon freese and a alaskan malamute/beagle mix who no matter what I do will not stop jumping on people. My malamute will not let any other dogs get close to any of us. My neighbor has a husky who is very friendly and when he tries to make friends with her she gets ugly with him. I would love a transcript if it is possible. Thank you
July 22nd, 2008 at 3:46 am
as i have read most of the comments about not being able to download or hear it, i wonder if there is another way i can learn about viewing for my daughter’s dog, a boxer dog aged 3 years old and of whom has been in and out of dogs homes, my daughter has had him for 3 months and has worked magic with him, but has a problem with other dogs and gets a little over excited when playing with toys. as my daughter is young herself i just want to be reassured that as and when she has children that her dog will be fine, well more than fine around babies. thankyou
July 23rd, 2008 at 4:58 pm
I really liked this one-disagreed with some of the info. Would have preferred it in writing as I can read faster and this is kind of drawn out when it doesn’t need to be. I was always taught the owner needs to be the alpha dog.
July 24th, 2008 at 2:32 am
Now this really answered some of my questions pertaining to my Choc Lab. He is 17 months and gorgeous, but tries his best to up his position within our household. He’s beautiful though, and I certainly can use the info you’ve given.
July 30th, 2008 at 6:29 pm
Thanks very much for sharing this information with me. I appreciate all the tips and tricks that you send. It does help me with my 3 chihuahuas. I hope you are all enjoying your summer
Cheers Jeff

August 28th, 2008 at 9:02 am
Hi,
I was unable to open the video, can you send me printed copy?
Also a quick question, I recently rescued a small cocker spaniel from a rescue center. but this morning in the excitement of chasing a rabbit, she jumped up on and then climbed over my chain link fence. I thought having a fenced back yard would be enough, but how can I keep her from climbing over????
Luckily I was able to get her back before she decided to chase farther than the neighbors back yard, but I cannot hope for the same luck next time. Help!
August 28th, 2008 at 9:56 am
This was not a video. It’s audio only and you just use the play button to start it. Or you can download the mp3 file as stated in the post.
September 10th, 2008 at 7:50 pm
I cant download it either PLEASE email it to me. I have a 11month old Papallion that thinks everything is hers and is getting worse by the day!!
