Canine Aggression

The dog bite?, is a typical question that we can make someone in the street near our intention to pet dog, and showing one of the things we worry about this species is aggression. Although it is a natural behavior, from the moment that lives with us is no longer acceptable and something becomes a problem to be solved. Usually

news of dog attacks people quite often cause public alarm, stigmatize certain breeds are considered aggressive per se and no distinction is made the type of aggressiveness that carried the dogs, thinking that the only solution is to resign oneself to live with him and sacrificing or end. The reality however is not as extreme. It is true that there are breeds genetically prone to develop adult aggressive behavior, although we may be surprising to find among them some as the cocker, but this is not the only factor to consider. The character of a dog is given mostly by the education received and their experiences throughout his life, so it will be a true reflection of how it has shaped their owners regardless of race.

Moreover, if for whatever reason the dog develops a disorder aggressive we are not in a dead end, the search for a solution is to analyze the behavior of the animal so you know what's motivating. This is usually psychological causes, but a small percentage is a physical disease that produces aggression. In this way, we can summarize the following types:

• Aggressiveness by dominance: the case of a dispute between two dogs for a resource (eg food) or to establish seniority. If you head towards their masters the intention is to ascend to the position of leader of the pack.
• predatory aggressiveness: the instinct arises hunting dog to what he considered a dam. For "dam" means something that moves at a certain speed, such as a cat or other animal running away, a person running or a vehicle. This is why if a dog ran away he pursues us, even though their initial intention was not that.
• aggression between males or between females : These are disputes between same-sex animals that live in the same house, usually for hierarchy.
• Aggressiveness by pain: it is a perfectly normal reaction to external aggression, but should not occur if pain is produced by his master to heal a wound
• fear aggression, fearful dogs appears to be unable to cope with new situations, usually when a stranger tries to touch and feel cornered with no room to flee.
  
• maternal aggressiveness is manifested in females during the first month after birth in order to protect their young from other animals, depending on the attitude we adopt towards people of the relationship you have with them. It is entirely possible that their owners let them come and touch their puppies without suspicion, but may not be well if they are strangers.
  
• territorial aggressiveness, is caused by the nature animal dog as territorial intruders when access to its territory is a person or another animal. Although a dog with this behavior is commonly considered a good guardian, if you have not received proper training should not be surprised if it attacks the visits, and yet we must bear in mind that in our absence, will not distinguish a thief of someone unknown coming into our house with a legitimate purpose.
  
• Redirected Aggression: if it appears to be impossible to attack the dog who generates the negative stimulus, and instead attacks another more accessible. Aggressiveness
  
• learned: it has induced in the dog through training by his master, obtaining a very unstable animal growls and attacks for no reason just to satisfy him. Dogs are difficult to treat, faithful reflections of masters problematic and unbalanced.
