Warning Signs and Owner Responsibilities
Even a gentle pet can become aggressive. Knowing the warning signs helps prevent attacks, and owners are expected to take reasonable precautions.
- Warning signs. Growling or hissing, raised fur, avoiding interaction, and a tucked tail, which can signal fear.
- Common fear triggers. Loud noises like thunderstorms and fireworks, unfamiliar environments, and strangers or unfamiliar animals.
- Socialization and training. Early socialization reduces fear and aggression, and consistent commands like "come" can stop a dog before it reaches someone.
- Securing the property. A secure fence, and a muzzle on walks or around new people for a dog with aggressive tendencies.
- Professional help. An owner whose pet is consistently aggressive should consult an animal behaviorist.
