Yupper aggresion builds aggression. Fear breeds fear and that leads to aggression. More worked up you get the more the dog sees the world as out of control and scary the more he needs to gain confort by tring to " take" control.

gentle gets gentle in time but it takes work.
Or you can aplha roll, them beat, poke them, bite thier ears, grab their jaws, them and Zap them until they give up and thier souls are dead and you win but your dog looses big time. But hay you got a dog that lays there does not bark chase cars, growl ( which is just talk) and do anything bad how proud are you. But the dog is dead in side and really rather not be hear and goes along to keep yu from hurting it again but that ok.

Gentle means they want to be with you, they want to work and are willing to work and will work harder and do better cause they know it is safe to try even if they get it wrong they are still learning.
