Best Sterling Heights Michigan Dog Training knows that there are three main sources of aggressive behaviors. A common one is a protective behavior. This is the need to guard and protect the yard, house, a person, or even a resource. We also deal with a lot of learning behaviors. This means that your dog will respond to stimuli in an aggressive way in order to get its way. I.e. the cute Pomeranian does not want to get off the sofa so it some bites at mom when asked to get down. In doing so, the cute pup learns that she can get her way by such a show of aggression. There’s also genetically linked behavior which means that your dog’s aggressive behavior has been somewhat hardwired into its DNA. Some dogs are born predisposed to be more human or dog aggressive based on their prior genetics. Dog like this can still be helped, but the aggression is never truly resolved.

Fixed versus controlled aggression. Fixed means that the aggression behaviors are well, fixed. This means we are able to teach your canine companion that those aggressive behaviors that they are engaging and are no longer appropriate and give our clients the tools to continue to reinforce the new boundaries. Control to manage aggression means that we have taught your dog to behaviors we would like to see and what is no longer allowed. Your dog understands right from wrong behaviors, but the dogs drive for certain behavior is so strong that it will not exhibit self-control unless its leader is right there forcing it to. I.e. unless you are controlling or managing your dog’s behavior.

This is fixed behavior. Now, little Johnny knows he should not eat cookies or for dinner and he knows that if he does he will get in trouble.
