Unfor- tunately, the person in- volved was hospital- ized due to the severity of his inju- ries. It is believed the gen- tleman came too close to a litter of puppies and, as a result, was attacked by the adult dogs. It is imperative to under- stand that any dog of any breed, provided with a cer- tain set of circumstances, can display aggression to- wards humans, other dogs, or other animals. When they are guarding their territory or food, protect- ing themselves from a per- ceived threat, or defending their young, dogs will use aggressive displays much like any other animal or human. Determining the reasons for, or the caus- ative circumstances sur- rounding, the aggression is important. First, it must be deter- mined that the animal is not reacting because of pain or a medical con- dition. Any disease that causes pain or increases irritability, such as den- tal disease, arthritis, or trauma, can lead to aggres- sion. Certain tumors, cen- tral nervous system dis- orders and various organ dysfunctions can also con- tribute to irritability and cause the dog to become aggressive when it is han- dled or even if it anticipates handling. Therefore, it is imperative that you first consult with a veterinar- ian to rule out any possible medical cause, and provide treatment as necessary. Ad- ditionally, the use of train- ing devices that inflict pain on animals are discour- aged because they can lead the animal to become ag- gressive to stop the pain re- ceived. Protective, territorial and possessive types of ag- gression are similar. If the dog perceives a threat, whether real or imagined, to itself or its "family" it may become protectively aggressive. A perfect exam- ple is a mother protecting her young pups. "Resource guarding" is when dogs be- come possessively aggres- sive when defending their food, toys, or some other highly valued object. When guarding their valued ob- ject, they may growl, snap, or even bite to maintain control over it. Territorial aggression occurs when the dog is in a yard, home, car, etc., and is approached by another animal or hu- man and attempts to de- fend what it considers its territory. Fear is the underlying cause of most forms of ca- nine aggression. Fear-mo- tivated aggression is a de- fensive reaction and oc- curs when a dog believes he is in danger of be- ing harmed. It is exceed- ingly important to remem- ber that the threat is from the dog's perspective and it can be real or imag- ined. Fearful dogs will try to avoid what is caus- ing the fear, but can be- come aggressive if they feel trapped, like when they are leashed, cornered, or physically confined. For example, you go for a walk with your dog on-leash and happen to encounter another dog running loose. Your own dog might per- ceive a threat and react ag- gressively to it, especially since it is confined by the leash. It is also important to note that if the dog is unable to attack the per- ceived threat, he may re- direct his aggression onto someone or something else. One example is when a person tries to break up a dogfight and one of the dogs turns and bites the interfering person. Aggressive play is a nor- mal puppy behavior. When puppies play with other puppies, they may nip and bite but will generally re- solve any disagreements among themselves. Pup- pies playing with their guardians may bark, growl, and impulsively at- tack. Sometimes, though, it becomes too exuberant. One effective way to han- dle a rambunctious pup is to provide a distraction, like a toy. The puppy can then transfer its attention to it. If the puppy is biting hard, yell "Ouch" and turn away, stopping play with the animal. Also, consider giving the pup a time out. If the pup will not stop bad behavior, put it in its kennel with until he calms down. Never use any phys- ical punishment, like shak- ing or hitting, which could result in fear-motivated aggression. Any social group, whether human or ca- nine, typically abides by a certain hierarchical or- der of leaders and follow- ers to avoid conflict. Like humans, if more than one individual wants to be the leader a fight can break out. In addition, in- tact males may vie for fe- males in heat, and females may compete for access to a male. Spaying and neu- tering, along with train- ing, may help reduce both these aggressions. Early socialization is an important key in help- ing to prevent aggres- sive tendencies. Puppies that learn how to inter- act, play and communi- cate with people, other ca- nines and other species are less likely to show ag- gressive behavior when they become adults. Nor- mal canine aggression not tempered can become a serious problem, as we have recently seen. It is up to us to provide the necessary care, training, and supervision to ensure that our dogs and those around them are safe.
