Aggression in dogs can be complex, serious, and potentially dangerous for owners. Effectively addressing the issue begins with identifying the specific type of aggression your dog exhibits, which could include: conflict-related, fear-based, dominance, possessive, protective, territorial, maternal, play-related, redirected, pain-induced, inter-dog aggression, or aggression toward familiar or unfamiliar people. It could also stem from medical causes (pathophysiological) or learned behaviors. In many cases, multiple forms of aggression may be present.

​

Behavior challenges can also include issues such as fear of humans, dogs, objects, or noises; excessive barking or whining; destructive chewing; separation anxiety; resource guarding; improper play; and more. 

 

At Pleasant Paws, we’re here to help. Our team will assess your dog to identify the specific type of behavior or aggression they’re displaying and teach you effective coping strategies using the LEGS approach. This holistic method considers the whole dog: Learning, Environment, Genetics, and Self. For a deeper understanding of the LEGS approach, we encourage you to review our short overview. Click here.
