Dog Aggressive With Other Dogs: How Behavioural Rehabilitation Works

A dog that reacts to or is aggressive with other dogs is almost never a “bad” dog — it is a dog that has lost the ability to regulate itself in front of the trigger. Behavioural rehabilitation solves this by working on the cause (fear, frustration, stress, anxiety, pain, arousal or lack of limits), not just the symptom of growling and lunging. With the right method and consistency, the vast majority of these cases improve significantly. If every walk has turned into crisis management — changing route when another dog appears, holding the leash with your heart racing — this guide explains exactly what is going on and the path to solving it.
