Is Your Dog Aggressive With Other Dogs?

Commonly known as dog aggression or dog reactivity, it can be difficult or even scary to figure out how to deal with these behavior issues on your own.  Read a little bit of information below to find out how to get help for you and your dog.

Recognizing Signs of Aggression in Dogs

While barking, growling or biting are all signs of aggression in dogs, it is important to understand why your dog is behaving this way.  Aggressive behavior in dogs can be triggered from frustration from being held back on the leash when he wants to play or interact with other dogs, from fearfulness of other dogs and feeling a need to defend himself, from predatory or territorial behavior, or from a mixture of these reasons.  Did you know that there are dozens of precursor signals that occur long before barking, growling or biting occur that can predict when a dog will behave aggressively as well?  Because of this, it is important to seek out a trainer adept at reading canine body language to help you determine the cause of your dog’s aggression and how to treat it effectively.
