Aggressiveness in dogs due to Owner Behavior?

here is a link

http://www.waycooldogs.com/new-study-shows-aggressiveness-in-dogs-due-to-owner-behavior/

I found this somewhat interesting

Agree/Disagree?

Factors which were seen to cause aggressiveness in dogs are:

• First-time dog ownership
• Failure of the dog to receive basic obedience training
• Spoiling and pampering the dogs
• Not using physical punishment when correcting the dog
• Not spaying female dogs
• Impulse purchase of the dog
• Buying the dog for a present or guard dog
• Leaving dogs with constant supply of food
• Spending very little time with the dog

seems like they’ve been to Y/A DS…lmao

I agree with some, others eeeh….what does spaying a female dog have to do with aggression?
I’m guessing these are sound dogs that went into the study.
Physical punishment doesnt not have to be kicking the dog in the ribs…

My dog receives a correction with a prong when he gets out of line. So I agree with that statement.
free feeding is one that I cant quite get…unless it goes along with the fact that you let your dog do anything and everything…
GREEK…If your majesty would actually CLICK on the damn link….its a study done by the University of Cordova in SPAIN…not waycooldogs…LMAO…that’s just where its mentioned and placed….JEEEEEzzzezz freking christ…lol
PS…I just googled new dog studies and skimmed through those….I’m not by any way, shape or form saying that its a FACT and cannot be disputed…lol
ADD:…sorrryyy Jermajesty ?!

How can I keep stop some of my dog’s bad behaviors? I have exhausted my supply of ideas.?

I have two dogs. I have had my maltese for almost 4 years now. I have a 7-8 month old mix puppy that we are pretty sure is a lab/shepherd mix. The new puppy was our foster puppy that became another member of our family. I have had her since she was about 6 weeks old. She is a wonderful dog. But, when she plays, she is very rough. Her hair stands up on her back, and she sometimes hurts my maltese. He stands his own and lets her know when she goes too far. But, they play too rough. Meaning, it gets out of control: too loud, running around the house, jumping and clearing entire couch arms, running into things, and just being in a different mindset. I put them in their individual crates when they get like this. And they are calm once they come out of the crate. But, then they are right back to it later. And, I have been doing the crate thing for a while now. And, nothing has changed. I have tried positive reinforcement with treats and lots of love for doing the right thing. They have both been to obedience training together with me. And, it did not really help. They get plenty of attention and exercise. I am in graduate school, so I am home with them all day; they are my children. They go for walks and have a huge back yard to run in together. They love each other. They play, cuddle each other, and groom each other. But, the puppy is also constantly after my maltese biting at him. I know she thinks she is playing. But, he just gets tired of it. I also constantly say “no bite” and am consistent with this. Also, I ensure that I don’t put my maltese in the crate unless he was actively fighting too. If it is just the puppy biting at him, I only put the puppy in the crate. And, this is the only thing that I use their crates for. She also has terrible problems jumping when she is excited to see someone, which is anytime I leave for more than an hour. I always say ‘off’ and nudge her with my knee fairly forcefully (she is large). It does not faze her. She jumps and jumps and jumps. She is literally too excited not to. The trainer said she had never seen a dog so intent to jump. She gets so excited to see people that she cries, literally. Any advice that anyone can lend would be greatly appreciated. I apologize for the length of the question; I just felt that the background info was necessary. thanks!
I totally agree that she is teething and a puppy and will have a million puppy behaviors. But, she is aggressive. She runs at the maltese, jumps at him and me when in this ‘mode,’ growls, bites aggressively at his neck, her hair stands up, etc. I thought that this was something I needed to work on/nip in the bum early??

Help me make a list of things I will need for a new puppy?

I am going to get a new german shepherd puppy by the end of summer.

So I want to be prepared I have a lot of supplies for a dog already from my current dog and I have a crate that just needs a divider. I have several books ordered on training and behavior and will be enrolling the pup in puppy classes and will progress into obedience classes two levels and then maybe some agility training for fun.

What do I need for my puppy and what do I need to ask the vet?

Also thanks to everyone who answers my question.

What Method of training do you use on your dogs?

As always our family donates to a new rescue or shelter every month. This time we donate to fluffy dog rescue, and then we looked as some of there dogs we fell in love with this guy
http://www.petfinder.com/petdetail/18749032. He’s about 4 months and we’ve never had a dog before(my mom did though). We already have one cat at home and no other pets.
There are some problems though, we have a pond right behind us and rose bush(they are pretty big). We are going to puppy proof our home. We have baby gates still, there about 2 feet tall we will use these to block off certain areas. We have many natures trails and I’ll walk in the morning and afternoon. We have many neighbors with dogs so socializing isn’t a problem. There are puppy class about 30 Minutes .
