My dog is very aggressive - what can I do?

IONX ? Cell Lyte FORMULA
Aggressive dogs can cause serious injury and even death. In addition to the tragedy sometimes caused by canine attacks, owners can be subject to civil and criminal liability for their pet's behavior. If your dog shows signs of aggression such as growling, snarling or snapping, call your veterinarian immediately for a behavior evaluation and counseling to help you train your dog. Most behavior problems can be successfully treated with a strict training regimen.

I have a patient that is aggressive. Is this dog likely to be hypothyroid?

Diagnostic Center for Population and Animal Health
There have been anecdotal reports of hypothyroidism resulting in aggression. However, this association has not been proven in any retrospective or prospective studies where large numbers of dogs have been evaluated. In one retrospective study performed here at Michigan State University, there was actually a negative correlation between a history of aggression and hypothyroidism. In other words, dogs with a history of aggression were actually less likely to be hypothyroid.

Q: Will raw meat make my dog aggressive?

NO. Raw meat will not make your dog aggressive. Aggression is a behavior found in all dogs to varying degrees. If your dog is possessive of his food or aggressive, you should take him to a good dog trainer who will help you with some behavior modification. Yes, occasionally meat does contain bacteria that is harmful to HUMANS. Dogs, being a completely different species from us have naturally developed stomachs & digestive tracts that deal with those bacterium (yes, even modern canines!).

Whilst we are able to advise on a wide range of behaviour problems by email or telephone, we are unable to offer help with those involving aggression because it is impossible to offer advice without a one-to-one consultation to establish the often complicated cause for the behaviour.

Are the vendors aggressive?

Debbie's Dominican Republic Travel frequently asked question...
In most resort areas the vendors have stalls set up outside of the resort property. Most hotels don't allow vendors to approach tourists on the beach. You have to go to them, then you're fair game. Each one will tell you he has the "best prices". Of course, the first price he quotes you will be twice what it's worth - you have to bargain, it is expected. If you're not into bargaining, stick to the hotel gift shops.

How can I prevent my Airedale from becoming aggressive?

Frequently Asked Questions
If you have a "family dog" and you are worried that your dog will be mauled by some Pit Bull- please stop watching too much tv. No aggressive dogs are allowed here. All the dogs that come here have been approved. They are family dogs. Just because a dog is a so called happy all around good dog breed does not guarantee it staying here. Every Pit Bull who has stayed here has been happy, sociable and stable. I can't say that of all Goldens and Labs.
