Aggression

With dogs, aggression can look like:

  • Possessive behaviour toward people, food, and even objects
  • Biting, snapping or growling when you try to touch them or introduce something or someone new to their environment
  • Any seemingly unpredictable behaviour in a situation where such a reaction would be inappropriate

Dogs who are behaving in a so-called “aggressive” way are really telling us “I AM OVERWHELMED AND I NEED MY SPACE!”
