Understand the Difficult Dog:
Understanding the reason why your dog's becoming more and more difficult to handle, is the first step to deal with him. All you need, is to understand why he behaves in the way he does. Analyze why he doesn't like certain things or why certain situations irritate him. You, as an owner of your dog, are the best person to analyze his difficulties. Remember, a dog that gets right quantity and quality of food, proper exercise, enough space to move around freely, proper care and ample love shouldn't become a difficult dog. I have rarely seen dogs of generous owners to become difficult to handle.

Ensure that your dog is healthy:
Make sure that your dog is healthy. By “Health”, I mean both mental and physical health. Consult an expert canine behaviorist or a dog trainer or a registered vet about the difficulties in him. You can also consult a canine expert or a professional dog trainer, who have been handling difficult dogs for years. They are the right guys to come up with some good solutions. Sick dogso often become aggressive.

Don't abandon your dog:
Give up the idea of abandoning your dog, at the first place. You can't escape all your problems by simply abandoning them. The next most important step is to bring your dog closer; make him feel the warmth of your presence and love. You can always seek help from experienced guys like canine behaviorists, dog trainers and experienced dog breeders and owners. You can always contact SPCA, ASPCA , RSPCA, and other canine organization and kennel clubs, seeking help. After all you have your family, friends and your chess board... he has none but you.

Look at your dog with love – don't stare:
Cool! Come close to your dog. Don't stare at him; look at his innocent eyes with love and kindness. Try to read his mind and let him read yours. Gather a bit of courage, go near him steadily with a few pieces his favorite treats – tidbits. If he is chained, unleash him immediately. Offer him his treat. Take him out in your well fenced garden off leash and let him run as fast and as long as he can. Throw a ball and he'll love to chase it. Don't expect too much from him. If he doesn't fetch it, it's you who couldn't teach him “sit-fetch-stay” properly.

Share your love:
Love wins all... difficult dogs are no of exception! Make him feel your love. Pat him -- love him lavishly. Extend your hand to his belly and rub gently to make him comfortable. If he growls, take off your hand and rub his back. Every single action of yours the movement of your body parts, your hand should be slow enough. This will keep him cool. Rub his neck and throat gently and you'll be amazed to find him lying down, trying to lick you. Don't get scared... he wants to give you some million dollar kisses.

Take him for a stroll:
A brisk stroll a mile every fine morning is a proven drug for difficult dogs. Walk him out amidst the morning mist together; strengthen your bondage. Make him feel the essence of togetherness and you'll see the magic of it! In most cases, I have seen, aggressiveness arises out of the feeling of loneliness and insecurity. Once you make him feel secured and loved you will win the war. But never take a difficult dog out off the leash.

Resist your dog from becoming a difficult to handle from the beginning. Simple obedience training from very early age can help steer clear of the situation.
