First Steps…

Jess and her boyfriend were now back to their place. But now the problem was how they should take him inside the house as they weren’t sure if Benji was comfortable. So they left the door open and to their surprise, Benji followed them inside the house. That was an amazing moment for both of them. Jess knew in her heart that things would soon be better with Benji.

No Success

When Jess thought that Benji would soon become a little friendly with both of them, things weren’t looking good. Benji still kept his distance from both of them. There was even a moment when Benji barked at Jess. But even then, Jess didn’t lose her hope. She was determined to change his behavior. Both Jess and Jared tried their best and were really patient with him. Good things don’t come easily.

Understanding Dog Aggression

Before you judge a breed there is one thing you should note down about the dogs. The aggression is not because of the dog falling into a particular category but because of the factors that can make any dog aggressive by nature. People often say that the Pit Bull the Mastiff or the Rottweiler are the most aggressive breeds, but that is not true. Even a simple mixed breed living in a stray could be as aggressive as these breeds. It all depends upon the damage which obviously is greater when compared to the Pit Bull or the Rottweiler. There are certain signs that an owner should look for if they think that their dog is being aggressive.

Signs To Look For

You must have seen an aggressive Pit Bull and a disciplined calm Pit Bull. What makes them different? It’s the way they were treated and taught. It depends on an owner who should, first of all, know the stakes that come with these heavy breeds. Unlike normal breeds like Chihuahua or many other breeds, the Pit Bull or the Rottweiler ask for a great disciplined atmosphere. An atmosphere not filled with the owner shouting at other people. Breeds like Pit Bull and Rottweiler always look for a leader of the pack which they see in you and if they think that the owner is not acting like one, they try to overpower you which seems like the dog being aggressive but eventually, he is just living up to its nature. So be the leader.

How To Be One?

For dogs, a pack leader is one whom they can trust blindly. So, if you want your dog should listen to you and stop being aggressive then try to win his trust. Set some limitations and boundaries inside and outside the house. When your dog is seen as a pack leader his aggression will automatically stop because he won’t fight for dominance because he now has a calm and assertive pack leader which is you.

The Red Zones

So what is a red zone? Breeds like the Pit Bull, Mastiff, Rottweiler, or any other big dog breed there is one thing that you should keep in mind. Big dogs tend to become easily frustrated compared to other breeds. And in that frustration, they start getting aggressive. It is the owner’s duty to make sure that the dogs don’t fall into frustration and exhaustion. The dog should live in a peaceful and happy environment.
