Dog to dog aggression problems

In my time as a behaviourist I have seen alot of dog to dog aggression cases. Although not in all, most cases I have encountered involve fear aggression. Therefore the diagnosis of an aggressive dog being "too confident" or "dominant" is simply not the case. There are many reasons why the dog is dog aggressive and it is vital that help is found in finding these reasons as well as treating them.

The same can be said for Dog to Human Aggression. I am reluctant to give any advice on aggression cases without being able to come out and see the problem for myself, I also like to be able to work alongside the dogs Vet as again here medical reasons can be the cause of aggression. Therefore the advice here is limited.

There are many problems which a dog can experience throughout his or her long life. Therefore those problems which are given above are only part of a long list. One statement I base all my work around is that it is VITAL TO FIND THE CAUSE not JUST TREAT THE SYMPTOMS. It is often easier for someone who has behaviour experience with lots of different dogs from both rescue, working and pet homes and whom is impartial to find the cause than the family whose dog is suffering from it.
