How are you?
Our today's newsletter theme is probably well-known to every dog owner. So, let's check what experts tell us about dog aggression and factors that can lead to it. Dog behaviourists say that pets show "displays of aggression" such as barking, growling, or snapping in the air, which tend the person or dog to move away from that canine. In some cases the aggression is mainly defensive, when dogs think, they have no other option.
Let's clarify the factors that can lead to the development of dog aggression:
- Anxiety or fear, as well as phobia
- Lack of structure
- Absence of exposure to other dogs during the critical socialization period
- Early experience of being a victim of other pet's aggression
- Aggressive behavior based on territorial issues
- Medical conditions
- Being abused by owners
- Ill breeding and genetic predisposition
