Aggression

99% of all aggressive dogs can be helped. The ones that can't are aggressive for mental reasons often because they are over breed at puppy mills. If you or anyone you know is considering giving a dog up or putting a dog down because aggressive behavior please think again. There is always a reason for aggressive behavior. Some dogs can become aggressive from lack of training and quality play time. Some dogs are simply at a higher risk of being aggressive than others due to the breed.Other dogs are at higher risk for being aggressive because of their size and their owner. Toy breeds are often left without rules and structure. Eventually barking becomes growling, growling becomes nipping, and nipping becomes biting. Curing a aggressive dog takes a lot of structure time and patience. Please never simply give up on a dog for being aggressive. A dog in a aggressive state is NEVER a happy dog.

The most aggressive breed of dog is a dachshund. That's right not a pittbull but that's what dog bites seem to make the headlines in the news most often. No pittbulls do NOT have locking jaws. No, pittbulls aren't untrustworthy and aggressive. However they seem to be the most abused breed.It is usually the smaller breeds who tend to pick up on these aggressive behaviors due to lack of rules, training, socialization and exercise. Every dog deserves to be happy and healthy mentally.
Franky the dachshund was freed from his aggressive behaviors with some trust, confidence and obedience training. All his life he was allowed to urinate and defecate on the floor. He was also aggressive towards other people. When his owner died he was left to a new family. Franky had only been around 3 people his whole life.The sudden change of living left this dog scared and dangerous. He would attack his new owners and even other people.This 10 year old dog broke his bad habits and learned how to be relaxed, obedient and potty trained! Congratulations franky you were a great student!
