Ever wondered why your otherwise friendly canine companion growls, barks or shows aggression toward strangers? Do you attribute it to an innate instinct to protect you? Hold on to your leashes because this episode of the Dog Aggression Answers podcast is about to debunk some of those popular myths. Join me, Scott Sheaffer, as we shatter preconceived notions and dig deeper into the misunderstood behavior of canine aggression. We'll tackle everything from the concept of anthropomorphizing to various forms of aggression, all while trying to understand the world from your dog's perspective.
Are you ready to explore the parallel between resource guarding and a jealous boyfriend? You'll find that, and more, as we discuss fascinating studies, including one involving three dogs reacting to an intruder breaking into their homes.
How does an owner's demeanor influence a dog's level of aggression? We'll dive into that too along with insights on diagnosing canine behavior and how to manage and treat aggression.
Our goal is not to merely survive our living experience with our dogs, but for both owner and dog to thrive. Join us, and let's get to the heart of the matter, one bark/growl at a time.
