There are many dogs out there that are aggressive, and if you have one you know what a problem that it can be. There are many great programs that you can buy that will teach you techniques on how to stop your dog's aggression. But what some of the lower quality programs don't teach is what kind of aggression you dog has. Knowing this can be extremely important when trying to change this behavior. Here are some of the types.
Aggression because of fear is a common one. A scared, nervous and insecure dog usually will snap, bite, and aggressively bark. This can be because of things like loud unexpected sounds.
A lot of dogs are aggressive just because they have a dominate personality. This is one of the worst types of aggression. This is because you dog may try and scare people on purpose, and may only like 1 or 2 people it knows. This selective mentality is not a dog that you want to own.
Some dogs are very possessive and they take this emotion out in the form of aggression. When a dog gets close to something sometimes it will guard it to his or her death. Stopping this type of aggression usually requires you trying to give you dog something else to grow attached to.
Finally a lot of dogs are aggressive if their territory is invaded. They will growl, and bite when someone or something approaches. Usually the only approach to this kind of aggression is to tire your dog out and then show them new things.
Most aggressive dog behavior can be controlled. All that you need to do is to find the right program out there that will teach you how to change your dogs' mindset and you will begin to see results.
