What Is Considered A Aggressive Dog
An aggressive dog can have many attributes which might include growling, barking, snapping among many things. This aggression can be cause by other deply related factors in the aggressive dog.
The aggressive dog could actually have a underlying illness that is triggering his attitude towards the human companion. The 1st thing you should do is have your dog checked by a veterinarian to make sure he is not ill or suffering from some other form of aggravation.
The dog could be having mood swings , as in people , dogs can have mood swings. There are actually dog behavioral specialist who can evaluate your aggressive dog for potential mood problems. These specialist might prescribe pills as they would there human counterparts.
Changing the diet can change the mood of your dog also. How would you like it if you were fed hot dogs every day for the rest of your life. Dogs sometimes need a variety or at least a small treat to vary there diet.
Just because your dog like to growl , show his teeth , etc, does not mean he is aggressive but there could be a underlying reason.
Lucy My Aggressive Dog
Lucy is a 3 year old Jack russell. I would not really call her a aggressive dog but she has a mind of her own.
Lucy does not like to be picked up if she is not in the mood. Lucy will growl , show her teeth and actually is kinda frightening. She has not bitten anyone on purpose but has accidentally nipped while playing.
I do not consider her a aggressive dog but the growling has got to STOP. I think she is seeing her self as the alpha around the house and can have her way when she wants.
She is really a sweet Jack Russell Terrier when she chooses to be , but there is the problem, when she chooses. She has never been a aggressive dog toward strangers that enter the house but does like to bark when people approach the house.
