Aggression in dogs is an important behavioral problem, it is
the most common problem seen at animal behavior clinics. Aggressive dog will
consistently growl, snap, or bite when a person does something, or asks the dog
to do something, which the dog does not like.
Aggressive dog has an
inappropriate response to normal situations.
The dog is trying to control the situation with her
reaction, rather than allowing a person to have control. These dogs may be
protective over food or toys, or favorite sleeping areas. They may react if
they are groomed, or if you stare at them, or if they are punished. This is
also not the same situation as a dog which has been pushed beyond her limit by
cruelty or pain.
Aggression usually begins at around 18-24 months of age, when dogs become socially mature. Less commonly, it can occur in puppies as young as 4-5 months. While intact dogs may have a higher tendency towards aggression, spaying or neutering alone will not solve the problem once it has started. Some rather common health problems can make an otherwise even-tempered dog aggressive. These include but are not limited to epilepsy, hypothyroidism, arthritis, hip dysplasia, and dental disease. Consult your veterinarian about the situation and may recommend some testing such as a complete blood count, a chemistry panel or a thyroid test.
