- aggression: if the threat did not work

When our dog is on a leash, if the critical distance is crossed, escape is impossible. Many people conclude that their dog is aggressive when it is because it is attached that it is aggressive.

Let us remember that at the root of all violent behavior, whether in dogs or in humans, is fear.

ATOTHER CAUSES D 'AGGRESSIONS - aggression by irritation: the dog attacks because he is in pain. It is not necessarily the fact that his "aggressor" (this is how the dog perceives it) mistreats him, he can suffer from osteoarthritis or arthritis, or another organic pathology that generates pain. . It is therefore essential to have the dog examined by a veterinarian in order to identify suffering and treat it.

- territorial aggression: it is about the defense of a part of the territory or of the whole territory. A living environment (a biotope, therefore) on which we can live, feed, reproduce, it protects! Some dogs therefore vigorously threaten anyone who approaches the gate of the house, and others even extend their aggressiveness when approaching what they consider to be their place (the car, the basket, the sofa etc.)

- maternal aggression: this is the case of a female whose young are threatened: aggression on the part of the bitch is a survival reaction of the species. - instrumental aggression or instrumental bite: the animal has learned that the bite can be used as an effective instrument to avoid an unpleasant situation, to cope with the difficulties it encounters. If he understands that by biting, the unpleasant situation does not happen again, he learns to anticipate: he bites first. This aggression necessarily involves training (the dog has learned this behavior).

- the categories apart from Moyer's classification: frustration or deprivation which can trigger a bite by irritation (annoyance)

VSOBSERVE THE GROUNDS

Canine communication is not similar to human language, as you will understand from reading the previous chapters.

Growling is a sign of communication fairly well identified by ethologists, but it often impressed owners or people who witness it.

A growling dog is easily accused of being mean or dangerous.

However, the motivations which lead him to manifest himself in this way are variable and not necessarily aggressive: - Within the framework of the game, it is common to hear a dog expressing his pleasure or his resentment in "combat", whether it is a stuffed animal to "kill" or a fellow creature to submit. There is nothing abnormal there. If, on the other hand, the growl is addressed to the owner who does not play exactly as the dog wants it, it is necessary to react, by showing his disagreement by the immediate stopping of the interaction.

- out of fear or pain. The intention is not to be "mean", quite the contrary: the animal warns that it is uncomfortable and that if this continues, it will bite. Suffering and worry are sometimes difficult to bear, he then shows his dissatisfaction and warns his interlocutor not to continue on this path.
