Types of Dog Aggression:
There are several types of aggressive dogs, and for several reasons. This depends on the social context, the treatment to which they are subjected, the food, the state of health, or even the fact that they see their territory threatened, among other reasons. These five types of Dog Aggression stand out:
1. Domain Aggression
When a dog lives with a group of people, that is, in family, its instinct makes it define a hierarchy among its members. The dog can accept people who are bossier than him and be obedient, submissive, and do everything to please! But the dog can also have displays of power (if they have a more dominant personality) when they feel that their status is threatened (like the signs of dog aggression we mentioned above) and tries to stay at the top of the hierarchy. You must know the signs and body language of your dog because it is necessary that you, as the owner, do not be frightened and know how to demonstrate your dominance over the animal and without reaching physical aggression. How to train an aggressive dog in these situations? It is necessary to seek the help of a trainer or a specialist in canine behavior who teaches you how to dominate your dog or, at least, who teaches your animal to respect you and other family members as superior beings in the hierarchy. And this goes for both a Pinscher and a Pit-bull because all aggressive dog breeds can belong to this group.
