Dominance aggression is one of the most misunderstood types of dog aggression. As a result, treatment is frequently counterproductive and continues the cycle of aggression and stress for the family.

In this episode we explore dominance aggression, providing clear explanations and practical examples to help dog owners understand this behavior. We also discuss treatment strategies.

We emphasize positive treatment strategies for mitigating aggression without resorting to punitive measures - which normally make things worse. We also discuss things dog owners might be doing that unintentionally are reinforcing this behavior.
