Nobody appreciates aggression with a pet. Aggressive behavior in dogs should be treated as soon as possible, especially if it is a family animal. Even if you train a watchdog, misguided aggression is a big problem. The bigger the dog, the bigger the problem, but the aggressive behavior remains a big problem even with a small dog.
There are several reasons for the stop aggressiveness of your dog. Maybe there was a problem of domination or something that was not properly handled as a puppy. Maybe the puppy was attacked by another dog or treated unfairly by a human. Whatever the cause, you need to fix it immediately. The result can be scary or even dangerous if the behavior is allowed to continue.
Why is my dog aggressive?
As mentioned above, there are many reasons why a dog can show aggression. Often the behavior starts with the puppy. During the period of 6 to 14 weeks, your dog should be brought in contact with humans and other dogs and you should start training. A puppy loses significant socialization if it is taken out of bed before the age of 8 weeks. Always use gentle treatment until you have at least a few months, as hitting, screaming, and other severe punishments can lead to inexplicably aggressive behavior during this time.
Aggression can be triggered by many different factors. While heredity and genetics may be factors, some races are known to be more aggressive than others, but there are still exceptions to typical racial behavior. In addition, your dog's sterilization or castration usually results in it being more docile than others. The environment is probably the most important factor for aggression in dogs. Poor living conditions, lack of socialization, abuse, or attacks by another dog can be causative factors in dogs that are more aggressive with age.
In a herd, the hierarchical order can be determined by aggressive behavior such as biting or posing when a dog tests its territory. If you are not the alpha dog in your home, your dog may try to position itself as an alpha dog by some sort of attack. By establishing yourself as an alpha dog while the dog is young and maintaining that position during your teenage years, make sure the dog does not have the opportunity to take control of the family at this point in time, or will Try it later if it is not mistreated.
How to stop or at least control aggression.
If your dog shows aggressive tendencies after the socialization phase, especially if they have been changed, you need to fix the problem immediately. Again, you must be the alpha dog and not let the dog dominate, even if he is afraid. This may be why he behaves badly. If you have trained your dog to respond to your instructions and control the walking and feeding times, maintain your position as an alpha dog and avoid any aggression without incident. On the other hand, if you let the dog take care of you or if you misbehave at home, you will learn that you can show more aggression towards others. As with many other life problems, it is much easier to control whether it is a small problem or a trend than to make it a big problem or a rooted behavior.
When a dog feels threatened, they can develop a defensive-aggressive behavior and attack a person or even another dog with fear. This can be more likely if your dog has not been properly socialized. If you observe defensive-aggressive behavior, be sure to keep the dog away from small children, which can be perceived as a more direct threat (and can also cause anxiety, which reinforces the dog's bad behavior). Contact a training specialist or dog behavior specialist as soon as possible to help correct inappropriate behavior through acclamation or resocialization.
Aggressive behavior in dogs can be a big problem and can be dangerous or expensive if someone is injured and their dog is responsible. Remember, a dog is like any other member of your family and you are responsible for your actions.
The aggression of the dog CAN be controlled or corrected, even if your dog gets older. You can act early.
