My pit bull is aggressive. How can I train her for PTSD service?

The answer very much depends on why he's aggressive (fear-based, territorial, play-based, etc) but my general recommendations are to stop ALL punishments, avoid anything that is causing aggression, and never allow him around children. Then you need to find a veterinary behaviorist to work with who can go over a detailed history and diagnosis and treat his issues. If you are unable to find a veterinary behaviorist, your vet may be able to start him on medications and talk about some behavior modification.

This can be a very frustrating situation. Typically Lady is feeling threatened and possessive leading to aggression. I would highly recommend hiring a behavioral trainer to come into your house and help work through Lady's behavior. You can try adaptil a pheromone to help reduce stress and even increased exercise can help with anxiety but a trainer is the best option.

Thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach! Spaying can certainly correct aggressive behaviors or tendencies so that is something that can certainly help in Luna's case. If that is not corrected after surgery or you prefer not to spay her, I would highly suggest a qualified dog trainer or behaviorist that can help you with this in person. While correcting these types of behaviors is possible, it usually requires in person training. Good luck and have a great day!

It could honestly be a lack of socialization to other animals from a young age. Puppies should start to be socialized young and if they are aggressive, should be put into training with a professional behavioral expert. It could also be related to hormones, as I see Destiny isn't spayed.

This behavior can be hard to correct especially since she is an adult. I would talk to your vet about getting her started on an anti-anxiety medicine like fluoxetine or trazadone. These will help to calm her nerves, but you will also need to start a training program. This would be best started with an behaviorist or dog trainer. This will be a long road and unfortunately, there is no easy fix. I hope this helps and she starts to improve.

Some of this may be curiosity and not knowing manners on how to act around new dogs. Some dogs have a different personality and manners on a leash vs. off a leash. She is young enough that seeking a trainer to help socialize her both on and off leash, in new settings, and around new and familiar animals will help her behavior. The more interactions at a young age, the better as long as they are controlled and the proper behavior rewarded

Yes, she might be more protecive since her puppy is around. You can try an Adaptil collar and Solliquin chews and see if that helps with any stress/anxiety. You could also take her to a trainer or behaviorist but if she is biting your friends then you may need to confine her when friends come over.
