Although beating won’t necessarily produce a good dog, excessive spoiling is also harmful to cultivating good behavior in dogs. Many bad habits arise because owners fail to correct minor bad behaviors in time. When the dog performs these actions without any punishment, it naturally becomes more reckless.

　　Because dogs have no other way to receive external information, they can only sniff unfamiliar things first, then bite with their teeth. If owners do not strengthen management, dogs will interact with unfamiliar objects by chewing on them, which is the beginning of biting behavior in the future.

　　Additionally, owners ignoring such behavior in dogs is a fundamental reason for aggressive behavior. Usually, after the dog is over 1 year old, their character gradually matures, and "aggression" begins to evolve into "bad behavior."

　　Aggressive behavior stemming from a sense of superiority accounts for more than half of various aggressive acts. Because they have never faced setbacks, they may act fearlessly towards strangers. Especially with children, dogs easily see themselves as the leader of the household, expecting others to obey them as subordinates.

　　If your beloved dog already exhibits this kind of bad aggressive behavior, we should start training from the following aspects to correct these bad habits.

　　1. Intentionally ignore their presence. Usually, this involves deliberately ignoring the dog’s presence for 5-7 days. During this time, pretend the dog does not exist, continue eating and walking as usual, deliberately not looking at or responding to the dog’s sounds. Once the dog’s attitude begins to change, attempt some training to make it obey your commands.

　　2. Control food. For aggression related to food, improve behavior by controlling the food. Let the dog understand that food is given by us and not something it can eat whenever it wants. Therefore, owners should not give food anytime and anywhere. Once the dog shows aggressive behavior, immediately take the food away. After a period of training, the owner can try holding the bowl, giving the "sit" command, and offering food only after obedience. When placing food, consider putting less first; after the dog finishes, let it watch the owner add more. Change the situation where the dog always has enough food, and fix feeding times.

　　3. Reinforce leadership through daily training such as sit and lie down commands. Praise and affection should be given when the dog shows good behavior. Criticism must be timely if the dog shows dissatisfaction during training.

　　4. Do not be overly indulgent. While tolerance is a good thing, too much indulgence is often a main cause of bad habits developing. Some dogs even bite their own owners because the owners usually ignore similar behaviors. Therefore, bad behavior must be criticized in time.

　　5. Avoid corporal punishment as much as possible. Even if punishing by hitting, it is best to use tools that are "all bark and no bite" in nature; otherwise, it may cause fear in the dog towards the owner, which is detrimental to training.
