This section provides information on aggressive behavior, including resource guarding toward humans, and dog/dog problems. We've placed the archives on these topics near to one another because they are so very closely related; the motivation behind the use of aggressive behavior in dogs (particularly toward humans) is almost always fear. If your dog has used "aggressive" behavior already, read the information found here in the Aggression Archive as well as the Fearful Dog Archive

NOTE: See the On Leash Reactivity section, if you're having problems with your dog while out on walks. 

Fearful Dog Archive - Click here for tips on fear in dogs. Note: If your dog is fearful, s/he's at risk to learn to use aggressive behavior.  Be sure to read the information at the Aggression Archive as well.
