Hi Friend,

Dog Aggression can be very serious- especially if you have an unpredictable aggressive dog.

In my book there are complete sections devoted to serious behavior issues, such as aggression.

You can get ALL of my behavior reports and videos here:

What causes the aggression?
-----------------------------------

This one study shows a direct link between pain and dog aggression.

Researchers at the university's veterinary hospital were determined to find out and developed a retrospective study to examine the relation of pain and aggression, evaluating the circumstances leading to aggression, body posture during the attack, impulsiveness and aggressive behavior before the onset of the pain-eliciting condition.

The results of the study showed that dogs that had not been aggressive before the onset of pain were more impulsive to attack, displayed aggression more frequently when handled and assumed a defensive body posture more frequently than dogs that had showed previous aggressive tendencies.

The researchers also concluded that the owners of previously non-aggressive dogs were less likely to anticipate an attack, as they were unaccustomed to the behavior.

In contrast, animals that were aggressive before the onset of pain had learned behaviors, such as growling, to avoid uncomfortable situations and their owners had likely become conditioned to those behaviors.

P.S. The conclusion here:

Pain causes aggression.

If your dog/cat becomes aggressive/unpredictable, then they may be in pain.

Rule this out as a cause.

You can start with a Basic At Home Veterinary Exam.

And I have a GREAT video showing you HOW to do this.

ALL for ONLY $5.97
