Would You Be Able To Deal With These Three Types Of Aggression?
In order for you to be able to deal with dog aggression you must first understand what type of aggressive dog behaviour is being exhibited.
There are several different kinds of dog aggression.
Today we will look at the following three types of aggression and that is maternal aggression, redirect aggression and dog on dog aggression.
Maternal aggression is seen when a female dog is nursing or raising a litter of pups.
The female canine is only trying to protect her puppies from anyone who approaches and that could be a person or another animal.
She may openly show aggression by barking, growling or even snapping.
As the puppies grow older and are weaned this aggression will normally totally disappear.
The next type of dog aggression that many of us are more familiar with is dog on dog aggression.
Commonly this usually happens between canines of the same sex but as usually there are exceptions.
This type of aggression starts when the canine is a young puppy so changing the unwanted behaviour can be done.
If no steps are taken to address the issue than this doggie will bark, chase, growl, lunge and try to bite another canine.
This type of canine is quite dangerous and creates a serious problem.
People that engage in the illegal activity of dog fighting promote this kind of canine.
These dogs are nothing more than a piece of property to these people and discarded when then outlive their usefulness.
The next type of aggressive dog behaviour that we will look at is called Redirect Aggression.
This behaviour happens when the canine is already engaged in some form of aggressive behaviour and is interrupted by say a human and then the dog will turn on the human.
Trying to break up a dog fight can be a very dangerous undertaking.
Now that you know what the signs are for these three types of aggression you will be better prepared to deal with the aggression.
When your dog is still a pup you have the opportunity to train your puppy the right way.
Doing it right at this age will definitely save you a lot of problems down the road.
