Aggresion In Dogs - Dog Teaching

by Jeff Watersman

Many pet owners had this frequently seen problem for years together ; fighting the aggression in dogs and keeping it under control. If you understand the concept as to what causes dogs to be aggressive and how to manipulate it, then the possibilities of not being a victim of dog aggression is high. It is astounding that dog bites cost the healthcare industry $30 million annually.

First, you must understand the factors behind aggression in dogs. Not all dogs are born aggressive, they usually become like that because of the conditions around them. When a puppy is of a very young age, like say between one to fourteen weeks, they need to socialise thoroughly and looked after by relations.

Aggression in dogs usually begins from a young age due to unacceptable care. If the puppies aren't socialized with humans from a young age, they'll grow up shy around others and also will be alarmed of them. This is maybe the beginning of aggression in dogs. If left unbridled, it may be a difficulty later on. There are also factors that cause aggression in dogs. This could be hormonal or genetic background. The commonest breeds like Doberman and rotty are consider having the most aggression in dogs. These breeds are of a protecting nature which explains the high aggression in dogs that belong to these breeds.

Hormonal imbalances are due to inbreeding by some scrupulous dog breeders. They don't take excellent care of the dogs and in an effort to make a quick buck, resort to inbreeding. In addition to causing high levels of aggression in dogs, this is also unhealthy and can have serious physical effects on the dog too.

The environment the dog is being raised in is also a serious contributor to aggression in dogs. If the dog is being punished unnecessarily, or being showered attention for no reason, or is the topic of teasing by passersby and youngsters, then these are all responsible for higher degrees of aggression in dogs.

Similarly, aggression may also be classified into different types primarily based on the dog's demeanor. The defensive aggression in dogs is when the dog is awfully afraid of the person or animal and attacks in retaliation. This is one of the most typical forms of aggression.

The territorial aggression is the form of aggression where people or animals outside the known circle approach the dog's area and make it feel threatened. On the other hand, agony prompted aggression, as the name says, is when the dog is attacking something that causes it pain like other animals or people. There's a possibility that a combination of aggression in dogs can exist and thus, it is safe to narrow down the causes before jumping the van.

Sadly, a big number of pet owners mistake aggression in dogs to be an unexplained behaviour change. They fail to realize what caused the dog to behave the manner it probably did and hastily send it away to animal shelters. If you take the time and understand, then it is possible that there are a few things your beloved pet may be trying to say. - 20511
