Just like their Beagle and English bulldogs ancestors Beabull puppies are normally gentle, loyal and playful. However, it can always be bad apples in any bunch. If your Beabull puppy shows signs of aggression, here are some tips to nip it in the bud before it gets too old, or it becomes dangerous for your family.
1 Growling, snarling and snapping are all signs of aggression. If your puppy shows Beabull these or other signs for you and / or the rest of the family, we all need to prove yourself as the alpha. Most dogs show aggression to prove their dominance over you or other family members. Your puppy needs to know to rely on you and your family for his food, toys, games, etc. - and not vice versa. In the pack, the alpha dog is rarely challenged. You need to put that same respect in their place.
2 Some puppies may begin to show signs of aggression on food, toys, bones and treats as well. When your puppy growls or shows other signs of aggression on his food, try putting it on the schedule, if it is not already. When you're preparing your food, you sit or stay in another room where they can jump, whine, push, etc. After him, the food is ready to call him to their feeding area and make it re-sit while you hold the bowl. Wait while he was still and silent for at least five seconds, then put food down for him to eat. This will remind him that you are the alpha and the control of food. He will be less likely to show aggression on you (or other family members) when he knows that the food source.
3 When your puppy Beabull shows signs of aggression such as growling, do not laugh, smile or simply ignore the behavior. Now tell him "no " in a loud, harsh tone, so that the message is loud and clear. Laughter or ignoring the behavior will only intensify.
