Aggression is a natural, reflex action in all dogs. It is an inherited part of their pack orientation. Aggression is an unwanted behavior and as a responsible dog owner you must recognise the signs of aggression in your dog and deal with it immediately.

If you are asking yourself ‘is my dog aggressive’ you are dealing with a:

Potentially dangerous situation, when a dog shows any signs of aggression. It is recommended that professional help is sought, particularly if a dog’s aggression is directed towards humans.

Aggression can be put into two types:

Dominant – a dominant dog holds its head and tail high, stands tall, walks with assurance and stares aggressively at other animals.

A dominant dog commands and expects respect. A naturally dominant dog will attempt to run everyone else, including its owners if leadership is not given.

Fear Induced – fear aggression occurs when a dog is scared, it does not matter if a situation has just occurred that scared the dog, it may only be an association that brings on the fear.

Most dogs that suffer fear aggression will first attempt to avoid any situation that scares it, if avoidance is not possible then it will attempt to escape or flee.

Only when neither option is available will the dog feel its only option is to fight and it will become aggressive and bite.

Aggression is a natural reaction of all dogs as part of their pack mentality. When living in a pack it is necessary for a dog to display aggression to maintain its position in the pack hierarchy or to protect its food, its pups or itself.

It is therefore necessary that YOU install yourself as the alpha and project the leadership that is sought from YOUR dog! Dog aggressive behavior must not be tolerated or allowed to escalate!

A dogs inherent pack instincts makes it so important that an owner immediately establishes himself as the leader or alpha. Your dog needs guidance, structure, motivation and as much love as you can give.

If you fail to provide leadership, and shower your dog with love and affection the only result will be you may gain the dogs trust but you will never gain the required respect.

All you require is the knowledge to understand your dogs language, enabling you recognises dog aggressive behavior and to communicate and to guide.

Aggression can be overcome with leadership, patience and repetition, never ever give up on an aggressive dog – dog aggressive behavior is only a symptom.

Whenever dealing with aggressive dogs – please seek professional help!
