I highly doubt its aggression unless the dog has been abused in someway and, even then, aggression is a bi-product of fear in these circumstances.
I brought in a behaviorist for Teddy around 8 months old and, if nothing else, learned that I had a lot to learn. I was reminded that dogs don't speak human but I can speak dog with the right training!
Good luck! |
I much prefer behaviorists over trainers but sometimes a good one is hard to find and they usually are a bit more money....but definitely well worth it.
Which makes me think of another option....
