Fear and tension

Such as fireworks, lightning and thunder, the sudden appearance of a big dog, etc., will frighten the dog and lead to aggressive behavior. I believe some friends have learned this lesson when they set off firecrackers during the Lantern Festival a few days ago. This situation is easier to deal with. The owner can keep the dog calm and calm down, so that the dog can relax.

Status

Dogs are somewhat similar to wolves. They are also gregarious animals. Although they are not necessarily as strict as wolves, dogs also have hierarchical distinctions. If there is more than one dog at home or if there are other pets, the dog may also behave aggressively in order to establish its leadership position. Sometimes, dogs will think that people are members of their pack, and they will also grin and bark loudly at people. . This requires the owner to be stronger and let the dog know who is the boss.

Territorial Behavior

Persian proverb goes: "A dog is like a lion on its own territory." Dogs will use any means to protect their territory, which is also the basis for raising dogs to guard the house. Dogs often think their home is their territory and can be rude to visitors. This depends on the owner's correction and cooperation with the guests. Talking more and maintaining a calm attitude between the host and guests will make the dog less vigilant.

Transfer

The kicking cat effect means that people will spread their fire on irrelevant things, and dogs also have this behavior. Originally, it was another dog or something else that made the dog angry. If it can't directly rush to vent its anger, it will find someone to vent its anger to. This is also the most puzzling reason for the owner.

Estrus

Dogs may have sudden aggressive behavior due to the secretion of hormones during the breeding period. Mother dogs can also become very irritable and nervous when taking care of their puppies. Therefore, unless you really want a puppy or plan to keep it for breeding, it is best to take your dog to the veterinarian for surgical castration.

Breeds

There are many breeds of dogs that were originally bred to bite prey or fight, rather than accompany their owners and perform tricks. These dogs are tenacious and brave, with an instinct to pounce and bite. For example, various terriers, as well as American pit bulls, Rottweilers, etc. Statistics show that these dogs bite people more often. However, I have to say something for these breeds of dogs. Although they are indeed brave and aggressive by nature, it does not mean that these breeds of dogs are dangerous. If their owners train them properly, they can be very well-behaved and docile.

Medical Reasons

If your poor dog is acting aggressive for no reason, you need to take him to the doctor to see if there is a medical reason, especially if your dog was originally very well-behaved. , suddenly became very irritable.Maybe at the end of the investigation, it turns out that your dog’s teeth are bad and he’s in pain all the time but has no place to vent.
