Dog aggressive to me

[Born Hunter 17,638]

There seems to be two lines of thought on this thread. One that it was food possessiveness and another that it was pain/fear. Just wanted to say that it's important to be 100% on what is the cause because how you respond to it probably needs to be different and responding the wrong way can possibly cause more problems.

ie, bollocking a dog that is in pain and scared you are going to hurt him/her will either destroy your bond/trust or cause the dog to actually bite you badly.

Dog's aren't human. they push each other around,no etiquette.They get over a whack in time depending on the dog.They have to have a leader and they need it,otherwise your the bitch.

Nope, definitely not human.

An animal that is in a state of fear doesn't give a f**k about any hierarchy.

And who cares,they should always respect the pack leader.

He knows his place, I think he was just communicating in dog fashion that's all

Okay, but do you think that a dogs mind is at all in that mode when it is a state of pain/fear? The most submissive dog in the world can snap when in pain. I don't think responding to that with a beating will have any positive result at all. The dog is in a survival mode, not in a social mode.

That's why it is important to identify the root cause.

Agreed didn't get a beating just a slap across the nose and a shout of no that was my natural instinct kicking in I guess

Mate, just to be clear, I'm not questioning what you did. Just responding to AW.
